Dear Vladimir,

I see that your target is made of natural hydrogen. Natural hydrogen contains
around 0.01% of deuterium and a reasonable possibility is that the reactions
you observe when you use a K+ beam - where all the quantum numbers (charge,
strangeness) are conserved but apparently the baryon one - are reactions on
deuterium. To check this I would try to do a test with pure hydrogen (you can
define it by using a MATERIAL card with what(6)=1.0 to overwrite -or define as
new material- your HYDROGEN material; if you use a different name and neutrons
are important in your problem remember in this case to set the correspondence
between FLUKA materials and low-energy neutron cross section via the LOW-MAT
card, I would do this in any case).

Hope it helps,
kind regards,
Anna
