    Hello Giuseppe,

    I do find the slideshow very useful, thank you for pointing out its
    existence. One question: if I 'trap' the variable ATRACK in usrdraw, do I
    get effectively the same time/age information?

    Thanks,
    mary

    Hello Mary,
    Your question can be of general interest for many FLUKA users.
    I understand that your need is to look at
    the energy spectra of emitted radiation evolving in time after an
    irradiation producing isotopes.

    If this is the case then I think that a very useful complement to
    the existing FLUKA documentation, for you and many other users, is the
    the primer on radiation study with FLUKA presented by S. Roelser at one of
    the recent meetings of CERN users.
    Look at:
    http://info-fluka-discussion.web.cern.ch/info-fluka-discussion/

    and go to the link of the lecture of March 15th about "Radioactive
    Isotopes Production and Decay"
