Thank you for your response. Just two follow-up questions:
1. What is included in EM-ENERGY exactly? Does it include energy loss from
ion recoils induced by neutron scatters?
2. What is included in NIEL? It just says non-ionizing radiation loss in
the manual, Could you please clarify a little more?
Thanks!
