Cross section reference

Dear experts,

Could you please provide information on the photon and electron cross sections implemented in FLUKA, specifically regarding what should be cited or stated in a manuscript?

Regards,

Riya

Dear Riya,

Photon interaction cross sections, as stated in the manual and in a previous thread, are based on the data from EPDL97.

D.E. Cullen, J.H. Hubbell and L. Kissel
EPDL97: the Evaluated Photon Data Library, '97 Version
UCRL-50400, Vol. 6, Rev. 5 (1997)

For electron Bremsstrahlung, the Seltzer and Berger cross sections are considered (manual).

S.M. Seltzer, M.J. Berger
Bremsstrahlung spectra from electrons with kinetic energy 1 keV–10 GeV incident on screened nuclei and orbital electrons of neutral atoms with Z = 1–100
At. Data Nucl. Data Tab. 35, 345–418 (1986)

Hope this help,
Giuseppe
