The FLUKA Monte Carlo code is widely used at CERN for beam-machine interactions, radioprotection calculations, and facility design, covering a wide energy range from MeV to TeV. It is also a core tool for hadron-therapy facilities in Europe, such as HIT and CNAO. The paper discusses recent developments in FLUKA, focusing on issues relevant to CERN and medical applications. Key areas include: 1. **Neutrino Beam Design**: FLUKA is crucial for designing neutrino beams, particularly for experiments like CNCS and CENF, which require precise predictions of meson production and neutrino cross sections. The code's accuracy in describing meson production at proton energies near the design for CENF is demonstrated through comparisons with experimental data. 2. **Hadrondotherapy Monitoring**: FLUKA's capabilities in predicting important reactions for PET monitoring of proton therapy, such as $^{16}$O(p,x)$^{15}$O and $^{12}$C(p,x)$^{11}$C, have been enhanced. A new direct deuteron formation mechanism has been implemented, improving the prediction of reactions like (p,d). Additionally, FLUKA now includes enhanced capabilities for detecting prompt photons emitted following nuclear interactions. 3. **Spin and Parity Effects**: The inclusion of spin and parity considerations in the Fermi Break-up model has been shown to improve the accuracy of predictions for excited low-mass fragments, particularly in underground experiments using liquid scintillators. The paper concludes by highlighting the improved results of these recent developments when compared to experimental data, emphasizing the ongoing refinement and improvement of FLUKA to meet the stringent requirements of high-energy and medical applications.The FLUKA Monte Carlo code is widely used at CERN for beam-machine interactions, radioprotection calculations, and facility design, covering a wide energy range from MeV to TeV.
