Dear Fluka users,

I am trying to evaluate dose from electron beam in tissue. Energy of
electron is 100 keV to 2 MeV for different cases. For this I am taking
thin slab of thickness 0.004 cm (TISSUEIC material) which is surrounding
by similar material. I have set transport/production cutoff at lowest
available. I am scoring energy deposition. Fluka default is set at
PRECESSION. My queries are as following

1. Is there any requirement to apply EFMIX and/or STEPSIZE for this case
as I am scoring energy deposition in thin slab? If yes how to optimize.
Because I observed variation of ~20% by applying maximum STEPSIZE of
0.0001 cm for the present input (FILE ATTACHED). Please elaborate.

2. What other precaution should I take for dosimetry at low energy
electron for example around 100 keV ?
