Dear Alfredo

Yes, you are right about the longitudinal depth-dose profile. I would like
to get a cm x dose graph, I actually need the dose to be in Gy/particles.
This is another point, I am confused about the conversion from GeV/g to Gy
for plotting on the graph. In order to better express myself, I am sending
an example of the plot I intend to obtain.
Regarding the range, I am using different energy values for the same
simulation, and I intend to evaluate the range according to the variations,
I am also sending an example plot, I would like to know if it is possible
to build it directly by Fluka/Flair.
Thank you in advance for your answer.
