Dear Anna,
Thank you for your advice. I double checked if volume in USTRACK and area in USRBDX are right. Definitely I should give more details about my volume and I misled you saying 'cube' (the whole water tank was originally a cube). This is cuboid 10 cm long on x, 10 cm long on y and 0.01 cm long on z. Therefore for USRTRACK I used 1 cm^{3} for volume and 100 cm^{2} for area in USRDBX. The beam propagates along z axis.
After the run I scored fluence that varies by more than one order of magnitude between these two graphs. I attached input file with plots of spectra. I'm using user routine source.f to create focused beam.
Thank you,
Karolina

...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.
Regards,
Anna
