@rafaelab: Do you know why the URB_Fixsen11 field is implemented without any tabulated files? Are the files missing or the implementation a relic?

There should be files for it. But since this field is quite limited in range and only useful for very specific studies, my suggestion would be to remove it since URB_Nitu21 is more up-to-date. There is also the widely-used URB_Protheroe96. I am not aware of a single study using URB_Fixsen11.
Ok, I just looked in PhotoPionProduction and PhotoDisintegration, where no Fixsen files are included. Apparently, all other Fixsen files seem to available in the latest data tar-ball. If it is not too much work I would like to add the missing files rather than deleting Fixsen support. Just in case someone is was using it. What do you think?
That's fine, @lukasmerten . I just realised that these files are missing from CRPropa3-data. I will make a quick PR fixing that now and you can add the files to the latest tarball.
@lukasmerten I created a PR for CRPropa3-data. Once you create the new tarball, I will merge this pull request.

Should be ready now. The new tarball is data-2021-07-30.tar.gz, which is used in ed6f904.
This PR should fix the issue brought up in #340.
The issue was twofold: 1) Some tables (interaction rates for redshift independent photo pion production on the EBL) were not correctly copied from version 3.1.6 to version 3.1.7. 2) The check for the CMB target photon field (in PhotoPionProduction) was not implemented correctly.
@Leander Schlegel from Ruhr University Bochum did quite some checks to pin down this problem and confirms that the version of this PR yields the same PPP secondaries as version 3.1.6.
