Dear FLUKA users,
It is our pleasure to announce that a new minor release of the FLUKA code, FLUKA 4-2.1, has been issued and can be downloaded from here.
See the release notes at the bottom of this message for a detailed account of all novelties. Many thanks to all users who reported the
issues here addressed.
With our kindest regards,
The FLUKA developer team at CERN and collaborating institutes
=== Fluka-4.2.1 ===
PHYSICS IMPROVEMENTS:
- TENDL reaction cross section for protons on 13C is now used below the 13C(p,n) threshold.

TECHNICAL IMPROVEMENTS:
- Following the user request under this forum post the maximum number of DETECT scorings has been increased from 20 to 100.
BUG FIXES:
- Fixed geometry error reported in this forum post which was traced back to an occasionally incorrect setting of the initial position of optical photons from local/sub-threshold energy depositions.
- Fixed a rare crash in electromagnetic dissociation event for virtual photons with energy below threshold for photonuclear reaction.
- Fixed crash reported in this forum post whereby the kinetic energies of decay alpha particles were not systematically included in the tabulation of electronic stopping power done at initialization.
- Fixed rare crash reported in this forum post whereby the evaluation of the antiproton capture probability for 4He failed.
- Fixed bug when setting up residual nucleus scoring for semi-analogue radioactive decay simulations.
- Fixed bug leading to inconsistent memory allocation in auxiliary post-processing tools when the number of angular bins exceeded the number of energy bins, reported in this forum post.
- Fixed bug in SPECSOUR with SDUM=PPSOURCE, CROSSASY, or CROSSSYM which led to inconsistent results in case of first beam particles heavier than second beam particles.
