Re: [fluka-discuss]: The difference between use USRBIN and USRBDX scoring ambient dose equivalent

Dear Po-Wen Fang,
when you ask DOSE-EQ scoring, the result is already in pS/primary, both
for USRBIN and USERBDX, in your case with the AMB74 coefficients. The
results should NOT be converted again. We'll better specify in the
manual.
There is, though, a normalization to be done: USRBIN by region do not
include volume calculation, this is left to the user. I mean that the
results of the USRBIN by region have to be divided by the region voulme.
Hope this helps
Paola
