Popis: Recently, we have demonstrated that the Monte Carlo package FLUKA can be used as an effective tool for simulating nuclear processes which occur in solar flares and that it is capable to provide a self-consistent treatment of all typical components of the γ-ray spectra observed in those events. In this work, we have employed a new simulation strategy that allows to improve statistics and resolution in energy of the generated γ-ray spectra. Using this new strategy, we have calculated spectra of γ-ray nuclear de-excitation lines produced by solar flare primary accelerated ions with typical power-law energy distributions.
