...just to be more precise with the number: I wrote that it should be
what(6)=1.E-4 in  USRBDX card considering as boundary one side of a cube of
0.01 cm size (since you did not send the input file - thing that is always
recommended -  it is not clear to me if this is exactly your geometry). If
not, you have in any case to provide a detector surface in USRBDX and a
detector volume in USRTRACK, as I wrote in the previous email. 
Note that the quantities can vary a bit accordingly with the estimator: in
the USRTRACK case you obtain the track-length density distribution
normalized to the detector volume (= the fluence averaged over the whole
volume), while in the USRBDX case the average fluence through (a parte of)
its surface.

Anna
