[fluka-discuss]: Not all isotopes decays

Dear all,

I am running a simulation of muons doing spallation in water, I am using
RESNUCLEI card to check isotopes produced and REDDECAY to check their
decay products. I found that the isotope yield is pretty reasonable and
the energy spectra of the decay products too, however, not all my
isotopes are decaying, meaning that the number of isotopes is always
greater than the number of decays. I notice also that this is not
uniform for different type of isotopes (for example only 22% of 16N do
decay,  44% for 18N, 75 %17N, 81% for 15C, while for other like 8He or
8Li, 12B, 13O, 12C ... is more than 95%). Moreover i checked that is not
related to the geometry of my simulation nor the thresholds I put. Does
anyone know if I am missing something in the physics or in the
simulation? Any comment would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

Best,

Alice
