Dear FLUKA Experts,

 

What transport cutoff values should be used to determine air kerma ??
Also, what should be scored in USRBIN ??

For low-energy photons, kerma is numerically approximately the same as
absorbed dose. For higher-energy photons, kerma is larger than absorbed dose
because some highly energetic secondary electrons and X-rays escape the
region of interest before depositing their energy. The escaping energy is
counted in kerma, but not in absorbed dose.

 

 

With regards,

Riya Dey
