Yes, I hadn't mentioned it. Indeed I wrote "a point detector in
MCNP/MCNPX jargon". I was simply trying to avoid lengthy descriptions
since the question was addressed to experts in both MC codes.

That was referring to your statement:
"what you describe, which is what is commonly called range rejection".

Actually, the two questions (about EII and point detectors) were not
directly related. Or, rather, I would be interested in using point
detectors with secondary x-rays coming from EII interactions.....

Me too.
