16.7} The various SDUM options available with command SPECSOUR


    For 
SDUM
= GCR-ALLF: All-nucleon flux All-nucleon flux as explained in 16.1.2}. Three different options (average, maximum and minimum flux) are available. The program reads fluxes from a file named "allnucok.dat" in which are given the total energy (GeV), the fluxes (E.dN/dE) and the neutron/proton ratios. It is possible to give an energy interval and to choose a starting radius (radius of the emission sphere in case of spherical geometry) or starting height (the emission height in case of flat geometry). It is possible to activate the vertical geomagnetic cutoff and to give the cutoff value at the central latitude, otherwise the geomagnetic cutoff will be not taken into account. Ions are treated like separate nucleons, or as alphas and protons.
WHAT(1)
= 1: central value = 2: minimum value = 3: maximum value
WHAT(2)
>= 0: starting radius (cm) < 0: starting height (cm)
WHAT(3)
= Minimum energy
WHAT(4)
= Maximum energy
WHAT(5)
= Spectral index for sampling (below transition energy)
WHAT(6)
= Transition energy for sampling (above it, sample from 1/E)

WHAT(6)
=< 0: nucleons are transported separately > 0: transport as many alphas as can be built by neutrons, and the remaining protons

SDUM
= GCR-AMS: AMS All-particle flux All-particle flux (ion flux), as explained in 16.1.1}. The particle composition of the flux can be modified by choosing the minimum and maximum atomic number (1 =< Z =< 28). The spectrum components have been produced applying the solar modulation with the modified Badhwar code [Bad96] for various modulation parameters to the LIS spectra based on AMS02 data of ref. [DTL22] and written on '.spc' files (Z+A+<PhiMV>+.spc). It is possible to give an energy interval and to choose a starting radius (radius of the emission sphere in case of spherical geometry) or starting height (the emission height in case of flat geometry). It is possible to activate the geomagnetic cutoff (
WHAT(7)
in SPECSOUR) and to input optionally the vertical cutoff value at the central latitude. Ions are treated like real ions or can be split. The optimized value for spectral index for sampling (below transition energy) is gamma = 1.75 (
WHAT(5)
). Above transition energy, the spectrum will be assumed to have a 1/E shape. Proper weights are then applied to account for the actual spectral indeces. This procedure allows to sample also the high energy tails of the primary spectra. It must be noted that this is a form of source spectrum biasing and therefore no analogue runs are possible. For
