[fluka-discuss]: energy deposition for 3MeV protons

Hi, I am trying to calculate the energy deposition of 3MeV protons impinging on various metals, the energy is deposited within a depth of a fraction of a mm depending on the metal. I am using FLUKA with the default settings so low energy neutron library activated.

I find the energy deposition as a function of depth looks quite flat without the significant bragg peak that was expected. Can someone explain why I am not seeing a sharp bragg peak at this energy?

Many Thanks

Tristan
