Dear fluka users,

I’m simulating 10 MeV neutron interactions in liquid 40Ar. The goal is to count how many 40Ar(n, g)41Ar and how many 40Ar(n, n+g)40Ar.

I try to separate these two types of interactions by looking at the secondaries produced in each interaction. Below are two examples:
Example 1:
      mgdraw.f:
      IF (NCASE .EQ. 56 .AND. JTRACK .EQ. 8) THEN
   ETNEW = ETRACK-Am(JTRACK)
           do ip = 1, NP
              WRITE(82,600) NCASE, JTRACK, ETNEW,
     & ip, Kpart(ip), Tki(ip), NP,
     & ICHTAR, IBTAR, ICRES, IBRES
           end do
      END IF
      Output:
        56 8 0.10000E-01 1 7 0.60471E-03 3 18 40 18 40
        56 8 0.10000E-01 2 7 0.29167E-02 3 18 40 18 40
        56 8 0.10000E-01 3 7 0.57545E-02 3 18 40 18 40
Example 2:
      mgdraw.f:
      IF (NCASE .EQ. 12060 .AND. JTRACK .EQ. 8) THEN
   ETNEW = ETRACK-Am(JTRACK)
           do ip = 1, NP
              WRITE(83,600) NCASE, JTRACK, ETNEW,
     & ip, Kpart(ip), Tki(ip), NP,
     & ICHTAR, IBTAR, ICRES, IBRES
           end do
      END IF
      Output:
     12060 8 0.10000E-01 1 7 0.27595E-02 5 18 40 18 40
     12060 8 0.10000E-01 2 7 0.14334E-02 5 18 40 18 40
     12060 8 0.10000E-01 3 7 0.64536E-02 5 18 40 18 40
     12060 8 0.10000E-01 4 8 0.10126E-01 5 18 40 18 40
     12060 8 0.10000E-01 5 8 0.26580E-02 5 18 40 18 40

So the output shows two interactions: n + 40Ar -> 40Ar + gamma ; n + 40Ar -> 2n + 40Ar + gamma. However, they are not physical.

Does anyone know how to interpret the outputs shown here?




Thank you!
Guanying Zhu
