Hello
I do not nknoew if I understood correctly your question, so I try with a
tentative answer:
As you say, the monteCarlo gives the statistical average. The result of
the Montecarlo does not depend on the number of histories, only the
statistical erors depend on the number of histories.
In real life, you will have a source, or a beam, with a given (real!)
intensity.
The number of histories in the montecarlo and the intensity of the real
source are not connected.
In general, one should take the averaged montecarlo result and multiply
by the number of photons (or other) from the real source.
Of course, the number of histories isimportant in order to get a good
statistical significance. In addition, if one is looking for a rare
process, and compare with experiment, the number of histories should be
large enough to sample rare events at leas as the experiment will do.
