Dear Javier,

1st. Scoring quantities that uses all particles in USRBDX, USRTRACK...
     for low energy neutrons (20MeV) will use always the neutron group structure,
     while for all other particles it will use the binning that you requested.
     Therefore you see in your case 260 n groups +400 bins

2nd. FLUKA doesn't have the impact ionization cross section for protons
     so what you get at high energies of protons is indirectly through other
     processes.

Subject: [fluka-discuss]: Problems with USRBDX

Hello Fluka experts.

I was simulated a shielding with an electron beam and I use some USRBDX scoring cards. The problem is when I check the result of tab.list or sum.list of this detectors and I find more binns in Energy than I have written in the card. For example if I put 1200 fluka count 1650, I have reduced to 400 but then appears 660, if you check the datas one by one you will find binn with the same energy interval (for example 2.3E-2 to 2.3E-2). I don't know why.

I want to calculate de dose before and after the shielding and I'm trying to sum all the points in each interval of energy but I find that after the first layer I have the same dose that after the shielding element. This is a good way for obtain the dose?

I add some folders

2 nd problem: k alpha line of copper

In the same configuration (changing the first layer for copper) I send a proton beam on a copper target in order to see the k alpha line (8.02 KeV). I am able to see the k alpha line with a proton energy more than 30 MeV. Under this energy it is impossible to see the k alpha line.
The card I am using to see the k alpha line are the following: EMF, EMFFLUO, EMFCUT prod, EMFCUT transport.

I would like to know why I can not see them with lower energy and which card should I add to see k alpha with a proton beam less than 30 MeV and if possible for 5 MeV proton beam, on the other hand, if I use an electron beam with a hundred of KeV, in this case I can see the K alpha without problems.

Kind Regards
