Dear Bhushan,
From the manual:
"Note: The results of a USRBDX boundary crossing estimator are
always given as DOUBLE DIFFERENTIAL distributions of
fluence (or current) in energy and solid angle, in units
of cm-2 GeV-1 sr-1 per incident primary, EVEN WHEN ONLY
1 INTERVAL (BIN) HAS BEEN REQUESTED, which is often
the case for angular distributions."
The output of the USRBDX card is fluence. Now if you do what you are
asking "multiply by the difference of the Ist and IInd column" what you
will get is a histogram of weighted counts for every energy bin.
For flair please look in the last fluka courses the flair-2.pdf file.
You have several options depending on what you will like to plot, both
on the X-axis and the Y-axis.
Variables: "Low" xl = Ist column, "High" xh = IInd column, Y = IIIrd column
X-axis
1. GeoMean: sqrt(xl*xh) <Xgeo>
The geometrical mean of the two values. Useful if you want to plot
point in the geometrical center of each bin. To be used only if you make
a logX plot. Be careful this is only for plotting it doesn't care what
you have scored in fluka linear or log in energy.
2. Mean (xl+xh)/2 <X>
Normal mean. To be used for linear plots
3. Low (xl)
Low value of the bin. To be used when plotting like a histogram the
data, together with the "steps" style
4. High (xh)
High value of the bin. Same as 3 but for "histeps"
Y-axis
There you have several choices on the way you want to represent your data
i) Y
The value of the IIIrd column as given by fluka
ii) Y x <X>
The value multiplied by the mean of the first two columns. To plot in
isolethargic way with linear x-axis
iii) Y x <Xgeo>
Multiplied by the geometric mean. Isolethargic way with log x-axis
iv) Y x Xl
...
v) Y x Xh
...
vi) Y x DX
Number of "counts" per bin.
Examples:
* To plot normal fluence like a histogram (log or linear) you have to choose
X: Low [xl]
Y: Y
With: steps
* To plot normal fluence with error bars (linear)
X: Mean (xl+xh)/2
Y: Y
With: errorbars
* To plot normal fluence with error bars (log)
X: GeoMean sqrt(xl*xh)
Y: Y
With: errorbars
* To plot isolethargic fluence as histogram (log)
X: Low [xl]
Y: X*<Ygeo>
With: steps
...
