Dear Bhushan,
in Flair, the option you want is Y x DX. But be careful: this will give
you the INTEGRATED fluence in each interval: in general, this representatio=
n
is not good for plotting, unless each interval has the same width (i.e.,
can be used for linear binning but is meaningless for logarithmic binning).
I would suggest that you try the utility program usxsuw (you find it in
$FLUPRO/flutil). It gives you:
1) the total fluence, integrated over energy and solid angle
2) the fluence differential in energy, but integrated over solid angle
(from what I understand you are not interested in this)
3) the fluence CUMULATIVE in energy and integrated over solid angle.
This is exactly what you are looking for: if you take the difference
between any two energies you get the total integrated fluence between t=
hose
two energies. If the two energies are the the limits of a single bin,
you get the fluence in that bin.=20
Only, remember that usxsuw works only with binary output files.
Finally, you can obtain what you want by a simple multiplication: multiply
each bin by 2 pi (or 4 pi, depending if you have a 1-way or 2-way scoring)
and by the difference of energy limits of the bin. The latter is a constant=
,
since you are doing a linear scoring. This constant is equal to
(Max. energy requested - Min. energy)/number of bins.
