What will be the units of the DOSE-EQ and the fluence scored using the USRBIN cards.
pSv/decay and cm-2/decay

Dear Nkanyiso,
everything is explained in detail (and, I think, very clearly) in
this Note to command BEAM in the Manual.
8) When the radiation source is a radioactive isotope, requested
by SDUM = ISOTOPE and defined by command HI-PROPErt, special
rules must be observed. Note that if a stable isotope is input,
nothing will occur, and no particle will be transported. On the
other hand, if the isotope is radioactive, it will be necessary
to request decay in semi-analogue mode (command RADDECAY with
WHAT(1) > 1). If RADDECAY is not requested, nothing will occur,
and no particle will be transported. Commands IRRPROFI and
DCYTIMES are not allowed: decay secondaries are sampled over
the whole decay time from zero to infinity, and all scoring will
refer to the time integral of isotope activity (dose, fluence,
current, yield or residual nuclei PER DECAY, not the
corresponding rates at particular decay times as it happens in
the "activation study" mode).
Important: to score any quantity, command DCYSCORE must be
issued with WHAT(1) = -1, and must be applying to all relevant
estimators and detectors. Without DCYSCORE, no scoring will
occur. For time-dependent calculations (see TCQUENCH, TIME-CUT)
it is to be noted that transport of isotope decay secondaries
starts with an age equal to the time of decay.

Sorry Joachim, I'm confused again on how do I normalize my score quantities to my 230-Th source activity,
because the scoring cards are scoring DOSE-EQ and the FLUENCE.
Here is the input file.

Thank you Joachim, this is what I was looking for.

Hi Nkanyiso,
Just to be sure, you want to use a radioactive isotope as a volumic source ? Not a particle
beam, is this correct ?
If this is the case, in the example below I am defining a cylindrical shape Tl-204 source
(you can overlay the source to a material in the geometry if the radionuclides are within a
matrix material):
BEAM 1.0ISOTOPE
BEAMPOS 0.0 0.15 0.0 0.24 0.0 CYLI-VOL
BEAMPOS 0.0 0.0 -0.125
HI-PROPE 81. 204.
*
Activate the decay in semi-analogue mode
RADDECAY 2.0
*
Use -1.0 for the card below as you are in semi-analogue mode
DCYSCORE -1.0 0. 0. DR-All DR-All USRBIN
*
*
USRBIN 10.0 DOSE-EQ -45.0 80.0 0.4 80.0DR-All
USRBIN -80.0 -0.4 -80.0 160.0 1.0 160.0&
*
Your results will be normalized per decay of the radionuclides defined with the HI-PROPE
card. If you have a xxx Bq source then you have to normalize the score quantities to your
source activity
Hoping this help
Joachim

Subject: Definition of Radioactive Target
Dear FLUKA users,
I have a problem with defining the radioactive target, where I will just measure the activity of
the target without hitting it with a beam.
Any idea will be appreciated.
