Hello
The 1Dmax chooses for each z interval the cell in R with the maximum value of the scored quantity (or vice-versa, if the projection is done along R)
The 1D projection for each z interval AVERAGES all the cells in R. Either over the whole mesh, or in a selected interval if the user sets limits on the coordinates in the plot page.
Thus, I would expect the 1Dmax to be higher than the 1dprojection.
Which value to use depends on what you need.. if you need a global quantity or an estimate in the most affected point.
Beware, both of them depend on how you set the USRBIN mesh with respect to the size of the beam and of the subsequent particle shower.
If you need only a global value over your target, you can set a USRBIN with only one interval for each of the coordinates. Or average over the 1Dprojection values of your present binning
Regards
Paola
