Re: [fluka-discuss]: Question about the treatment of the energy spectrum

Hello
Fluence results in the tab.lis file are given in units of
particles/GeV/primary averaged over the <emin, emax> interval of each
energy bin.
In order to get the number of particle in each energy interval, one has to
multiply the fluence/GeV by the width of the interval (Emax-Emin). The
energy-integrated fluence is the sum of (fluence_i *(emax-emin)_i) over
the bins.
