Re: [fluka-discuss]: Question about the electron range

Izf,

You should be aware of electron threshold in your case, i.e the energy cutoff for electron (PART-THRES card). Maybe you could lower it to 1 keV.
There are also other parameters, such as physical processes (especially bremsstrahlung, as suggested by Mauro) which could be set to an appropriate value.

Hope this helps.
Jean-Emmanuel

Dear Prof. Mauro Valente,

Thanks for your suggestions. It's very helpful.

However, I am not very clear which card should I use to do the electron range caculation in FLUKA. Should I need to write a source?

Could you please give me a detail procedure or an example to implement it. Thank you.

Dear Izf

Although I am not a FLUKA expert, I may suggest you to consider charged particle range definition.

Step by step following each primary particle up to absorption may provide you the input data to assess the range.

Nevertheless, advises by FLUKA experts are always desirable to proceed with the implementation.

I hope this may help you

Regards,

Dear all,

I intend to calculate 1 GeV electron range in copper block. I calculate the energy deposition of primary electron in copper and the result of electron range is only 1.5cm which is quite different from the electron CSDA range (6.07cm). Maybe my set up in FLUKA is wrong.

I have no idea how to correctly set up in FLUKA, and have attached the input file in the attachment. Any help will be appreciated and thanks in advance.
