[fluka-discuss]: Re: Cross section

​Hello:

In my earlier email exchanges with Mario I came to understand better how
Fluka handles photonuclear cross sections.​

Fluka has a database of the total photoabsorption cross sections for all
(most) nuclides, based on measured data. It then uses de-excitation models
("event generators") to calculate the probability of populating each exit
channel (e.g., (g,p)).

I was interested in the (g,n) cross section of Mo-100 so I set up a simple
model to "measure" the cross section. One irradiates a thin sample with a
monoenergetic photon beam and scores the desired product (Mo-99) using
RESNUCLEI.

The sample needs to be thin enough that the photon beam is not attenuated
too much.

I attach the input file I used. I ran it (with Flair) one energy at a time.
I suppose there is a way to set up a batch run to do all energies at once
but I am still a beginner ...

I never implemented Mario's code to get the total photoabsorption cross
section but he seemed to give all the needed details in his email. I think
the idea is to get source.f to run once and execute the added code, which
will write out the cross section.
