Thank you very much for your help !!!
1)I ask you again, please check the following code, there is also
obtaining helium-6 in 7Li(y,p) reaction. I am a student so I need your
help.
2) Can I calculate the energy loss of an electron when passing through
the foil by using Fluka (for example aluminum foil)? If so, how (what
command)?

Once again, thank you very much!
