Hi Paola,
Thank you for this explanation. I would also like to make clear the case of
the KINETIC energy.
My question is: Is it correct to calculate the sum of the kinetic energy of
secondaries using this code in mgdraw.f?
ENTRY BXDRAW ( ICODE, MREG, NEWREG, XSCO, YSCO, ZSCO )
if (MREG.eq.3 .and .NEWREG.eq.2) then
sum = sum + ETRACK - AM(JTRACK)
end if
RETURN
My problem is that I am studying different functions of energy/polar angles
of different secondaries using many different cuts, so I just can't utilize
the built-in facilities of FLUKA.
Thank you,
Konstantin
