Hi
if you look in the .out file, you can find how the energy is partitioned
among the various regions. In your case roughly 1.05 MeV is deposited in
air, in the region you call "VOID", 4.85 MeV in the "TARGET" region, and
roughly 100 keV escapes the system. These balance exactly to 6 MeV, as you
can see in the ouput file just after the "Feeder ended due to timeout."
line.
Also, at the end of the .out file, you can find the overall energy
balance, which again points to an exact sum of 6 MeV within 10^-12 GeV
precision.
The reason why you do not see all of the energy inside your USRBIN is
because it does not cover the whole air region (and obviously it misses
the escaping particles).
Concerning the DOSEQLET estimator, its results are not give an energy
per unit volume, but rather as explained in the manual, an energy per unit
mass (GeV/g) times the quality factor corresponding to the radiation under
consideration using the Q(LET) relation as defined in ICRP60, where
LET is LET_oo in water. Please note since your USRBIN's partially cover
air as well, the density is not everywhere the one of water.
You cannot expect to find the same value as the energy deposition, even
for quality factor 1, since parts of the binning have vastly diffrent
densities.
As a side comment, you are requesting an almost fully single scattering
transport of electrons (see your MULSOPT card) which is rather heavy
CPU-wise and it does not seem necessary at least for the water target
since it is rather bulky, I do not know if this is intentional or not.
