    Hello!
      I'm making calculations about photofission in 238U target.
    The geometry is the following:
    a 25MeV electron beam impinges on a W slab.
    The bremmstrahlung obtained are used to induce photofissions in a
    238U target of S=1cm^2 and thickness = 100 microgram/cm^2.
    In MCNP I obtained 10^-11 photossions per incident particle,
    in Fluka 10^-4.
    The geometry is simple and I can't find mistakes.

    I use SCORE 220 to find high energy fission and then
    look at the results in the end of the output file to see how many high
    energy fissions, among those generated, are provoked by photons.
    Could someone give a look, please?
    Thanks a lot,
    best regards,
    Francesca Belloni
     
     
    P.S.
    Here (and in attach 'cause spaces here was changed by default)is the file
    The only card I inserted in this version is SCORE
    In attach there's also the complete file with other bodies.
