Dear George,
I used AUXSCORE for USRTRACK scoring with SDUM=EWT74. I do not understand
how to interprete output results with the usage of AUXSCORE and where in
output file I can find it's results.
I attached my input file and .sum and .lis as output files.
Thank You for your help in advance.
Best regards,
Agnieszka Witkowska

> Note that if a stable isotope is input, nothing will occur, and no particle

> the corresponding rates at particular decay times as it happens in the
> "activation study" mode).
> Important: to score any quantity, command DCYSCORE must be issued with
> WHAT(1) = -1, and must be applying to all relevant estimators and

> equivalent). Without AUXSCORE your detector will default to AMB74
