Dear Silvia,
from your image I see that you set "C. Graphite bound nat. Carbon, 296 K",
in the LOW-MAT card.
Please change it with "C. Free gas natural Carbom, 296K".
Indeed, Graphite is declared as having the cross section of Graphite
bound natural Carbon, while diamond is declared as having the same
low-energy neutron cross section as Free Gas Carbon.
Moreover, in the Material card you should leave the Am definition empty.
Regarding the results, if you are modelling a thick target, in which
protons are stopped, I do not expect you to see significant differences
between carbon and diamonds.
Otherwise, you should see some difference due to the different densities
between the two targets.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Giulia
