Description
The hadronic interaction models of FLUKA are interfaced with Corsika(7)
since many years (a presentation on this subject will take place on Thursday)
However FLUKA does much more than hadronic interactions, including particle
tranposrt and atomic interactions as well.
A summary of the features implemented in the ElectroMagnetic package of
FLUKA (EMF) will be briefly presented. EMF had been developed mostly in the
'90's in order to substitute and possibly improve both from the physics and
computer speed point of view the interface with EGS4 which was used in
ancient versions of FLUKA. EMF is very stable and thouroughly benchmarked
since many years. Part of the EMF atomic physics is common to other charged
particle transported by FLUKA (eg dE/dx, mucltiple Coulomb scattering etc).
In recente years most of the developments had been aimed at low energies,
by introducing explicit orbital motion for each level for Z=1-100 in
Compton and annihilation interactions, and for (virtual)photon/electron
nuclear interactions. Some hints about FLUKA photo and leptonuclear
interactions will also be presented, together with a few slides about the
FLUKA (anti)neutrino-nucleus intercation model.
