Dear Paola,
While covering the pool with user bins, I kept the detectors at certain distances. Since I can't have a point detector in FLUKA, I filled the detectors with water.
Still, I am getting zero energy depositions at detectors kept at 1m away from the source. I need a sufficient number of values to derive any curve.
Please guide.
Also, I came to know about the weight window method of biasing. How to define weight window for my geometry? A contsnat weight window is not helping.
With Regards,
Jyoti

Dear Jyoti,
if I understand correctly your input file, you are trying to detect
photons after a path of 5 metres in water, and original energy of the
photons is 1.15 MeV.
At 1 MeV, the mean free path for photons in water is around 14 cm. It
means that the photons have to travel 35 mean free paths before arriving
to your detector, corresponding to an attenuation factor of about 10^-15.
..your bias would need to be much more aggressive than the factor 1000 in
your input, beyond the allowed factors for the BIASING card, that can
span up to a factor 10^10, and beyond a safe use of biasing.
My suggestion would be to cover your pool with userbins, scoring energy
and particle fluence, from which you can derive attenuation curves
Hope this helps
Paola
