The atmospheric neutrino flux calculated with FLUKA was originally limited to 100÷200 GeV for statistical reasons. In order to make it available for the analysis of high energy events, like upward through-going muons detected by ν telescopes, we have extended the calculation so to provide a reliable neutrino yield per primary nucleon up to about 10 GeV/nucleon, as far as the interaction model i...

Secondary particles produced in spallation reactions of cosmic rays with the interstellar gas provide valuable information that allow us to investigate injection and transport charged Galaxy. A good understanding cross sections production these is crucial correctly interpret our models, although existing experimental data very scarce uncertain. We have developed a new set sections, both inelast...

Since 22nd October 2012 the synchrotron light source BESSY is operated in top-up mode. Losses of electrons during injection cause an electromagnetic cascade, that consists of high energetic photons of the bremsstrahlung, and secondary electrons and positrons from the pair creations. The bremsstrahlung spectrum has a maximum at 1.022 MeV owing to pair creations. The spectrum has a high energetic...

Monte Carlo (MC) codes are increasingly spreading in the hadrontherapy community due to their detailed description of radiation transport and interaction with matter. The suitability of a MC code for application to hadrontherapy demands accurate and reliable physical models capable of handling all components of the expected radiation field. This becomes extremely important for correctly perform...
