RE: FW: energy deposition and dose calculation

Hi Zafar

Scoring with USRTRACK in fact sums up track-length in the scoring
volume in units of cm. In order to obtain fluence in units of 1/cm2
you have to devide by the scoring volume.

USRBDX scores fluence/current at a boundary of a certain size. In order
to obtain fluence in units of 1/cm2 you have to divide by the surface
area of this boundary.

In both cases the respective cards allow to enter the volume/area
directly in the input. If no value is entered 1cm3/1cm2 is assumed
by default.

Cheers
Stefan

Dear Stefan,
Sender: owner-fluka-discuss_at_mi.infn.it

Firstly, Thank you Stefan and Vasilis for nice help.

Actually, I am confused about the area and the voulme. I am not sure
either I have to use the area/volume of the target
(2cm, 2cm, 0.4mm) or the area
volume of the point (x=-50,50; y=-50, 50; z=0, 100) where I want to
calculate the spectra
    (So, I was using the default value for area and volume). Moreover, I
will have to use the whole surface area or of a particular plane?

Best regards,
Zafar
