Dear FLUKA experts,
I am simulating a proton beam in a water region where I am also considering secondary particles, including electrons. My goal is to print out the electron stopping power used by FLUKA and for that I activated the PRINT option in the EMFFIX card. To make sure I am getting unrestricted electron stopping powers, I set the DELTRARAY production threshold to infinite, so there is no delta ray production.
I compared the stopping power values printed in the output file to the NIST unrestricted stopping powers and I find a large discrepancy as you can see in the figures below.
Could someone explain why are these values so different? Am I simulating it wrong?
I have been trying to understand this for some time and I would really appreciate any help.
Best wishes,
Daniela
