Hi
FLUKA always normalizes result per primary particle. If you need
to calculate the total energy deposition by a particle beam, you will
have to multiply the results by the number of particles delivered by the
beam.
This has nothing to do with the number of particles in your fluka run,
of course.
All energies are in GeV, deposited energy by USRBIN is in
GeV/cm3/primary
Al dimensions are in cm, Fluences are in particles/cm2/primary
If you need dose, first of all you have to divide by the density of the
material to get results in GeV/g/primary, than apply conversion factors
to obtain Gray/primary, than multiply by your beam integrated intensity
to obtain total dose. This can be done offline ( multiply all the
results by the appropriate factor) or online using the COMSCW routine
If you need dose rate you'll have to multiply your results by the beam
intensity in particles/hour . Again, this is the intensity of the REAL
beam, it has nothing to do with the CPU time used by FLUKA to transport
particles ( which , by the way, depends on the computer one is using..)
