Hi Ana

complementing Mikhail's answer, which already hit the main point, the
proton mass is more precisely 938.27231 MeV, as given by the AMPRTN
parameter in $FLUPRO/flukapro/\(DBLPRC\).

Concerning ICODE = 101 in mgdraw, it refers to any non-elastic nuclear
reaction, including what you previously indicated as inelastic, which in
that meaning is just a specific subset of non-elastic channels. Note
however that often in real life inelastic is used (as in the USDRAW
header) as synonym of non-elastic, and not in the restricted meaning you
reported

Cheers

Francesco

The file "carbon_200001_fort.98" is an example of my output file and the energy of the particles that undergo an inelastic interaction is about 1 GeV which does not make sense since my projectile has a maximum energy of 200 MeV.
