Dear Sergey,

what you search is USRTRACK, which calculates the tracklength of a given
particle type over a region as a function of the particle kinetic energy
[cm/GeV], possibly divided by the region volume, if you input it in
WHAT(5) (->[cm-2 GeV-1]). This is the differential particle fluence
averaged over the volume (not really the 'number of particles in volume',
which is a pointless quantity, as discussed in the famous thread
http://www.fluka.org/web_archive/earchive/new-fluka-discuss/0543.html)

All the best

Francesco
