Dear FLUKA Experts,
I'm in the process of building an input file to simulate the dose from a monoenergetic x-ray beam in a thin target (0.1 mm) placed between 2 thin copper sheets. I'm interested in finding the dose with its statistical uncertainty for my C2TAGET region assigned to PVA target material, for example.
My questions are:

  1. I'm not sure about the beam shape. I set it to be annular with a radius from 0 to R in order to cover the target geometry. Is this correct?
  2. When I run it, I found 2 errors in flair: "Error in calibration image" and "Gnuplot error"; however, the output file was produced. Is it ok to ignore them?
  3. Regarding the result, is it in the unit of GeV/cm³ located in the output file 'Events by region,' and then do I have to convert it?
  4. Where can I find the statistical uncertainty?
  5. I noticed in the output file 'Events by region' that the volume of all regions was 1, while the actual volume should be different, e.g., 0.0113 cm³ for the C2TAGET region.
  6. When I added the MAT-PROP card to include the ionization value for the compound material, it stopped running, even when this card was disabled.
The input file is attached.
Best regards
Leena
