Hello
The answer is in transport thresholds. Even with the PRECISIO default,
the photon (and electron) transport thresholds are not low enough for
your simulation.
You can look in the fluka output file, in the EMF section you find:
7 target 5 GERMANIU 26 GERMANIU
Prompt:
Ecut = 6.1100E-01 MeV, Pcut = 3.3333E-02 MeV
The same for all other materials. This means that photons below 33 keV
are immediately killed and their energy is deposited on spot.
You can see this again in the fluka output file, towards the end, where
it is written that all the energy is deposited in the air region (see
screenshot)
To solve this, the EMFCUT card(s) have to be added to your input, for
instance
EMFCUT -1.E-6 1.E-6 0.0 VACUUM _at_LASTMAT PROD-CUT
EMFCUT -1.E-6 1.E-6 air _at_LASTREG
(or tailor them by material/region)
