Dear Jyoti,

first, note that you do not need a source routine for an isotropic
distribution, which is simply available through the BEAM card (WHAT(3)).

Second, what you score in the unit 21 is the energy *deposited* in your
detector made of *air* (GeV per emitted photon), while in unit 22 you get
a 3D distribution of energy density deposited in air (GeV/cm3 per emitted
photon). In principle there is nothing wrong in all that, the point is
what you want to compare to, and how you normalize the resulting number.

Kind regards

Francesco
