Dear George,

True!

Many thanks & Cheers,
Masoomeh

Dear Masoomeh,

I noticed that you only set electron and positron transport threshold, but not the photon one.
You should probably be setting similar thresholds for both production and transport of photons, electrons, and positrons, as I did in the attached input.

Best regards,
George

Dear Luigi and All,

I scored the Dose Equivalent of photon and electron out of the 45keV electron beam exposed the 0.5cm Copper target. True, The plots of error show the number of back-scattered electron are more than photons. The question is here, as the plot of dose equivalents show the Dose EQ (uSv/primary) of Photon is almost E(7) larger that the back scattered electron while I was expecting in the opposite direction (Dose EQ of Electron> Dose EQ of Photon)? I need to Multiply a factor for Dose EQ of Electron or photon or my expectation (Dose EQ of Electron> Dose EQ of Photon) is not correct?

The inp file and the plot of error and Dose EQ for scored photon and electron are attached

Cheers,
Masoomeh

For sake of precision, also fluorescence x-rays contribute to the radiation field outside the target.
However, after a quick check, the contribution is really tiny w.r.t. electrons.
Best, luigi
