RE: Neutron dose equivalent

Hi Turgay
I believe you want to score prompt neutron dose. In that case you need
to use a "filter" in the WHAT(2) of the AUXSCORE card to indicate you
want only the neutron contribution (not ALL-PART like you do now).
Prompt dose results will be in pSv/primary. You then need to scale the
results by the beam ("primary") intensity in the application you are
simulating. If you have 10e10 proton/s on a target in your real problem
then the scaled results will be in pSv/s and you can easily derived the
microSv/h you are looking for.

Just for your information, when you are scoring residual dose rate
associated to a cooling time using the irrprofile/dcytimes/raddecay
cards the results you obtained are already in pS/s as you beam/"primary"
intensity is already defined in the irrprofile car.

As a good practice for the use of the FLUKA list, do not hesitate to
send your input file along with your question
Hoping it helps
Best regards

Dear FLUKA experts,

I want to obtain neutron dose equivalent score ( unit ¥ìSv/h).
To see it, I used USRBIN estimator including AUXSCORE.
I'm not sure if 8.4959E+01 value (in fort.** file from FileViewer)
is dose equivalent- ¥ìSv/h?

Kind Regards.
