Hi Emre,

You have used WHAT(6)=0.0 in your beam card (so in principle you are giving weight=0 to your particles!?), I don't know how FLUKA processes such a request (WHAT(6) not being positive, nor negative) although normally if you use -0.16 -0.16 that will be your FWHM regardless of the last entry.
If you attach your input file (separately, not pasted as text) it will be easier to test it.

Hi;
 
 I am a new user for FLUKA and i have a question.
 
 /I want to have energy deposition in each meshed volume (dx=0.5mm, dy=0.5mm,
 dz=1.7mm) in W75Re25 amorphous target from electron beam and i used USRBIN
 card for that.
 
 My parameters;
 
 for Beam;
 Beam energy=2GeV
 Beam Size=1.6(r) mm
 N e- per pulse=208*1010 e-
 
 for Target;
 Target Material=W75Re25
 //Target Thickness=4.5X0 (X0=0.3439cm)
 
 The simulation were performed to the depth of 10 X0 to see the whole
shape of the shower distribution around the peak energy-deposition density.
 The peak density resides around the depth of 4.0 X0. Everything is right
 except max energy deposited value. It has to be 0.64*1010 but my result is
 0.28*1010. There is a difference about factor 2.
 
 And also, which value should i select for beam radius? for gauss,
 fwhm=sigma*2.355. and my value is 0.16cm. x(fwhm)=y(fwhm)= 0.16 or 0.16*2.355
 and so i selected both of them but there is not a big difference.
 
 I am sending you my input file. Can you help me?
 
 Thanks in advance
 Emre
