Dear Adolf,
Just one comment which I would like to add to Chris' answer:
Alternatively, you could use the user routine fluscw.f together with a
boundary crossing estimator (USRBDX). The routine is then called each time
a particle crosses that boundary (check flag ISCRNG = 1 inside fluscw),
with all properties of that particle (coordinates, direction cosines,
weight, id) being passed on to fluscw as argument list.
If there is no boundary between regions in your geometry at the location
of interest you could create one, simply by splitting the respective
region into two of the same properties.
Greetings
Stefan

That way I don't have to simulate the production of x-rays in the target every time I change the field size but use the "phase space file" as a source input. As far as I understand USERDUMP is used for this. So my questions are:

Using USERDUMP, as far as I understand, all particles in all directions will be dumped into the file and I would like only particles going into a certain direction to be dumped into the file.
