Dear FLUKA experts,
Regarding my earlier doubt about Kerma in free air calculation, ICRP 119
referred values are attached here. I have calculated this value for 1.0 MeV.
In 1st input (1_WHOLE) electron cut-off value is set as 0.99 MeV and it is
applied to all regions i.e. from void to target region. The calculated kerma
value 4.12 pGy-cm^2 which is close to literature value 4.47 pGy-cm^2.
In 2nd (2_TARGET) input electron cut-off value is set as 0.99 MeV and it is
applied to target region only i.e. the region where we want to calculate
kerma. The calculated kerma value 11.28 pGy-cm^2 which is far from
literature value.
In this respect what is the proper methodology to calculate kerma ? Do we
need to stop electron transport in all region to calculate kerma and why ?
