Towards an effective model for low-energy deuteron interactions in FLUKA

An overview is presented on recent efforts towards inclusion of low-energy (200 MeV) deuteron interactions in FLUKA, a general-purpose Monte Carlo code for the simulation of radiation transport. Differential cross sections for elastic deuteron break-up have been calculated within the distorted wave Born approximation (DWBA), obtaining reasonable agreement with experimental data at various energies and scattering geometries at the 4-differential level. An attempt has been made to put the various partially integrated distributions in as convenient a form as reasonably possible for sampling.
