Re: Question about neutron counting

Hallo

I would say that the relevant quantity, physically meaningful, is - as
almost always (with the respective particle species) - 2) "fluence" with
"neutron".

BEAMPART refers to first generation (LTRACK=1) particles. Any discrete
event (say interaction, apart from delta/Moller/Bhabha and nuclear elastic
scattering - but note that for low energy neutrons elastic scattering is
not disentangled as an independent interaction type - ) increases the
generation number.

Best regards

Francesco
