    All,

    In the FLUKA2003 manual in the USRBIN section it says:

    "Energy deposition will be expressed in GeV per cm3 per unit
                primary weight. To obtain doses (in Gy per unit primary
    weight),
                the results must be multiplied by (1.602176462E-7 / rho),
    where
                rho is the material density in g/cm3."

    So what exactly does primary weight mean? Does this imply that the
    conversion from GEV/cm3/g to Gy is really Gy/(actual detector volume)?
