    Dear Sunil,

    in fact you get 0.07, even worse.

    Quoting Ercan:

    No, 0.07 and 1 for the cumulative fluence show a HUGE difference. Note
    that the two attached output files are perfectly identical (including
    the final energy balance) apart from the execution times.

    What happened is that, in order to process the USRBDX unformatted output
    file, once you used the rdbdx code and the other time the rdtrk code (?),
    as you can realize just looking at the headlines of the two obtained txt
    files.

    By the way my suggestion (not mandatory) is to use USXSUW (and similar
    tools for scoring cards different from USRBDX, all available with the
    normal FLUKA code distribution in directory $FLUPRO/flutil), which allows
    to compute also standard deviations over several runs.

    Ciao

    Francesco
