Dear Experts,

I am trying to simulate proton-proton collisions inside the CMS geometry using 7 TeV protons. This falls in the realm of DPMJET, but when I run simulations then look at the run001.out file, there is no mention of DPMJET. As far as I can tell, DPMJET is one of the standard event generators that FLUKA uses, so for my simulation is it enough to just have a high energy beam defined or do I also need to manually link DPMJET/RQMD? I am running the latest version of FLUKA available on the website. Additionally I see this for both the 32- and 64-bit versions.

When I do link DPMJET (using ldpmqmd) I see in the run001.out file that DPMJET is activated. The problem is that after processing the data (USRBIN scorings), it looks very similar as before linking DPMJET, but scaled up by a factor of 2-3. So, for proton-proton collisions at high energy is it enough just to link DPMJET or are there other cards (IONTRANS, PHYSICS, etc.) that should be included?

Regards,
Graham Stoddard
