This part has been updated and * * extended in subsequent releases. * * * * FLUKA is a standalone code with its own life. Only a few * * parts have been included into GEANT, namely the ones dealing * * with hadronic elastic and inelastic interactions. * * * * The implementation of FLUKA routines in GEANT does not * * include any change, apart from interface ones and those * * agreed by the FLUKA authors. Whenever different options are * * available in FLUKA, the one suggested by the authors have * * been retained. Nevertheless the results obtained with FLUKA * * routines inside GEANT could not be representative of the * * full FLUKA performances, since they generally depend on * * other parts which are GEANT specific. * * * * The routines made available for GEANT have been extensively * * tested and are reasonably robust. They usually do not * * represent the latest FLUKA developments, since the policy is * * to supply for GEANT well tested and reliable code rather * * than very recent developments with possibly better physics * * but also still undetected errors. * * * * It is important that GEANT users are aware of the conditions * * at which this code has been kindly made available: * * * * o relevant authorship and references about FLUKA * * [1,2,3,4,5] should be clearly indicated in any * * publication reporting results obtained with this code; * * * * o the FLUKA authors reserve the right of publishing about * * the physical models they developed and implemented * * inside FLUKA, GEANT users are not supposed to extract * * from the GEANT - FLUKA code the relevant routines * * running them standalone for benchmarks; * * * * o more generally, FLUKA routines contained in the GEANF * * file are supposed to be included and used with GEANT * * only: any other use must be authorised by the FLUKA * * authors. * * * * [1] A.Fasso, A.Ferrari, J.Ranft, P.R.Sala, G.R.Stevenson and * * J.M.Zazula.
