[fluka-discuss]: Attempts to track particles using USERDUMP

Dear FLUKA experts,

I am a new user of both FLUKA and FLAIR, and am currently teaching myself
how they work. I have a very specific problem that I am attempting to use
FLUKA for, and am currently having some difficulty understanding how to best
go about it. The basis of the problem is tracking neutrons (the particles
being introduced by me to the system) as they interact in a medium (in the
preliminary case, pure ice). I am only really interested in the position
and trajectory of the neutrons that I introduce, and have little to no
concern for any other particles. The end result would be a complete path of
the neutrons travelling throughout the ice until they are ultimately
captured by some atom.

From the last few days of reading and researching through the guides and
manual, I believe the solution lies somewhere in the realm of USERDUMP and
the mgdraw user routine. I am also fairly certain that I will be unable to
simply use the regular input cards provided by FLUKA.Before I go in depth in
attempting to use mgdraw, I would like to have a better understanding of
what I should be modifying to avoid the information overload warnings that I
have read about.

I know this may be a very simple question, but I would greatly appreciate
any assistance with it.

Regards,
 
Kevin Crust
