Hi,
I tried to address your questions through the text.

Maybe. But your experimental values are what? What type of detectors? Do you know that they will be calibrated with the right dose equivalent values for all particles and energies?

Not sure what you mean. But if you filter your dose equivalent for neutrons and photons you will get fairly good results with FLUKA, as dose equivalent functionS are implemented for those. It does not matter that the primary particle were ions. On the other hand, there are many instruments to measure photons and neutrons, so you have a chance to benchmark your simulations.

Yes, that is the way to renormalize. Yes, you could use USERWEIG, but it would be an awfully unnecessarily complicated way to do things. Just multiply your results by 1.8E15

Many thanks!
