Yes. Generalised particle 208 means TOTAL energy, independent
of the particle which deposits it. But the result may slightly vary
depending on which threshold you have set for delta ray production and for
transport of secondary particles (mainly the electrons). Probably there
would not be a major variation in the results of SCORE, since a shift
of the energy deposition point will generally happen within the same region,
but if the bin size is smaller than the average delta electron range,
the energy of the delta ray could be scored in a different bin than
the one in which the delta was created. If you set the delta ray threshold
to infinity (which is a possibility, but not recommended) all the
energy lost will be deposited instead at the loss point.
