Dear Tao Yang,

If you are interested only in attenuation of primary photons, you can
try these two USRBDX's:

*...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....
USRBDX 109. BEAMPART 21. valeft qiankuai 1.in
USRBDX 1.0E-3 8.0E-4 1. 1. &


*...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....
USRBDX 109. BEAMPART 21. qiankuai varigh 1.out
USRBDX 1.0E-3 8.0E-4 1. 1. &

In - input fluence before lead block

out - output fluence after lead block

The value (out / in) is close to the formula calculations ( mu = 0.07102
cm^2/g, density = 11,35 g/cm^3)


Best regards,

Mikhail
