hadronic photon interactions are accounted for twice

Once in PROPOSAL and once in FLUKA.

switch off in fluka by removing 'yes' in line 9 in src/modules/fluka/fluka_codes.dat

changed milestone to %Beta Release

added Bug EM Easy First Issue Hadronic labels

changed the description

Is this about the cross section? If yes, from the PROPOSAL side, this can be disabled by removing this line from the code (or not adding the created object to the following vector)

Sorry, I think with the ICRC crush, I lost the thread on this a bit. Is this change a workaround?

I think the proper way to handle this in the long run is to make it configurable. In air FLUKA provides the more complete model as it includes nuclear effects but since we have the implementation for PROPOSAL we might as well keep it. It would allow us to quantify the nuclear effects by comparing the two. The two solutions proposed above are workarounds as they switch off (by hard coding) hadronic interactions in FLUKA or in PROPOSAL.

I believe we wait for steering to work until we resolve this?

For the proper solution yes. If we had a standard air shower that we use for validation I would like to see the effect it has on the number of muons.

mentioned in issue #659 (closed)

FLUKA is now switched off (!589 (merged)). Follow up in #660. Closing this.
