RE: Can not follow the results of example in FLUKA web

Hai Hantao,

First of all, is there any particular reason why you prefer FLUKA2008.3d?
Otherwise, you are strongly encourage to upgrade to the latest release.

Your eyes are better than mine, because I can hardly read any text from
the low-resolution image (Figure 1 on the web). So I start with the value
you provided: 3.2432E-5 GeV/cm^3 per electron, which gives
3.2432e-05* 1.6e-7/2.64 * 8.7e-10*1.7/760 *1e6 microGy per electron, and
therefore
3.2432e-05* 1.6e-7/2.64 * 8.7e-10*1.7/760 *1e6 / (1.6e-19*1e3/7.39/3600)
= 6.3602e+02 microGy per mA

The numbers 8.7e-10 torr, 1.7 multiplicative factor and 7.39 hour originate
from Esposito's paper. I calculated the current from the 'beam life'.
The number of electrons (1.66e+20) cancels out therefore I do not need the
actual number for the calculation.

I know 636 != 1510 but I'm happy to get the correct order of magnitude.
This is a quick estimation without uncertainty analysis.

Next, if I run the input file myself, I get the peak in FirstTLD
= 8.0744e-05 GeV/cm^3. Then,
8.0744e-05* 1.6e-7/2.64 * 8.7e-10*1.7/760 *1e6 / (1.6e-19*1e3/7.39/3600)
= 1.5834e+03 microGy per mA

Doesn't this look even better!
