Dear Zhefu,
the reliability of your results is indicated by their statistical error.
As the latter exceeds few ten percent, they should be intended as (highly)
questionable.
The biasing's aim is to get a better (= lower) statistical error on the
quantity of interest for the same CPU time. Therefore, its effectiveness
shall not be evaluated for the same number of primary particles, rather
for the same CPU time.
Of course, ideally, the biasing absence can be compensated by a larger CPU
time to get the same convergence.
The 0.02 reduction of the inelastic interaction length is a reasonable
value to start with. But the results have to be judged according to the
respective statistical error, as said at the beginning.
Best regards
Francesco
