Dear Alessandro
sorry for the late answer.
I see that the shielding  is not pure tungsten, however there could be a
partial self-shielding effect that is not accounted for in the simulation.
  I would suggest to switch  to the pointwise treatment. With that, the
correct level of self-shielding  is automatically accounted for.
If you do so, please add also the appropriate /TSL-PWXS /card for
hydrogen bound in plastic (as you correctly do for the groupwise treatment)
Regards
Paola
