Re: Activity value 0.0000E+00???

Hello Angelo,

I began my answer before I saw your second mail, that's the reason why I
started the explanation from the beginning.

To understand properly you should have some real example : I have an
electron beam of 6.25e13 e- per second, for say a week (convert in
seconds 86400*7), here are the two values for "irrprofile". Then you
want to calculate activity in a given region (resnuclei), one minute
after the end of irradiation, here is your cooling time : 60.0.
You should have :
* a raddecay card to activate the radioactive decay
* an irrprofi card to set your irradiation profile
* a decay time card
* a resnuclei card
* a dcyscore card to link the last two

And of course, you have to create some nuclear reaction in that given
region !
Make sure your physical properties are set in the proper way.

When DCYSCORE is applied to a detector, results are given per unit time
(for instance Bq for a resnuclei card).
The number of primaries put in the START card has nothing to do with the
number of particles involved in the physical process whereas the one
given in the IRRPROFIle card has.

I think I never tried witout defining a profile, I don't know if it
could give some result.

Hope it helps,
Regards.

Sebastien.
