Dear Agnieszka

I am not sure it really matters for your problem, however if I understand
your input correctly, you want to have Argon at 25 atm as sensitive gas,
you (correctly) set the gas pressure to 25 atm with MAT-PROP, but you left
the density in the corresponding material card to the one at 1 atm, which
is changing quite a bit the energy deposition.

Please forgive me if I misinterpreted something, I only gave a summary
look at your input.
