Re: Use of auxscore card in FLUKA

Dear Carrie

There is no spherical mesh with USRBIN.. Either you define a x-y-z mesh
that is fine enough to approximate your sphere or a region-dependent
scoring. Please note that for region-dependent scoring results are not
normalized per unit volume (see Note 13 of the USRBIN card in the manual).
In this case you would have to divide the results yourself.

Best regards
Stefan
