Hello,

Let us know exactly what worries you.

Should it be the fact that the Bremsstrahlung continuum appears
decoupled from characteristic lines in the first plot, consider the
following exercise.

If you reduce (increase) the width of the Pb slab you will see the onset
of the Bremsstrahlung continuum shift to lower (higher) photon energies,
mainly as a consequence of less (more) photon absorption. Keep an eye on
the transport and delta-ray production thresholds as well.

Regarding the characteristic line structure, at first glance it seems
reasonable inasfar as the K edge of Pb is around ~80 keV and the L1 edge
is around ~10 keV.

If what worries you are the units, check the *_sum.lis to examine which
cross section was used to normalize results so as to eventually report
the requested d^2sigma/dx1dx2.

For the same reason as previously noted in e.g.

  https://pcfluka.mi.infn.it/FLUKA/web_archive/earchive/new-fluka-discuss/4289.html

it may make more sense for you to score a double differential yield
(d^2N/dx1dx2 instead of d^2sigma/dx1dx2) in the electron-irradiation
case.

Cheers,

Cesc
