[fluka-discuss]: RE:[fluka-discuss]: The “Dose equivalent” to “Dose equivalent rate”

Dear user,

The conversion is performed via a normalization, see picture attached with the normalization field highlighted in your flair plot window.

The meaning of pSv is picosievert (1E-12 Sv). For your case in particular, in the manual (USRBIN section, Note 9), you find that:

         "9) Dose equivalent will be expressed in pSv per unit primary weight."

Therefore, the conversion to a rate e.g. per second is obtained simply using the number of primary particles per second into the normalization field when plotting.

Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Ricardo

Objet : [fluka-discuss]: The “Dose equivalent” to “Dose equivalent rate”

Dear experts,
In the previous question, I changed WHAT(2) in USRBIN to DOSE-EQ, and the result I got is shown in the figure. I am still confused about how to convert the dose equivalent in the result into the dose equivalent rate, and how to realize the calculation by beam intensity mentioned earlier.
And What is the meaning of the unit “pSv” of DOSE-EQ?
