Re: understanding AUXSCORE card?

Dear Vahan

Somewhat late but maybe still useful:

AUXSCORE allows to set filters on scoring. For example, if you want to
score dose equivalent by neutrons:

You have to set up, e.g., a USRBIN for DOSE-EQ

USRBIN 11.0 DOSE-EQ -64. 10.0 0.0 15.0DoseEq1h
USRBIN 0.0 0.0 -5.0 100.0 1.0 200.0&

However, this would give you total ambient dose equivalent. In order to
score only dose equivalent from neutrons you have to define an AUXSCORE
card

AUXSCORE USRBIN NEUTRON DoseEq1h

The detector index (here: DoseEq1h) refers to the USRBIN which now only
scores neutrons.

If you want to score dose equivalent separately for different particle
types, you will have to define several USRBIN/AUXSCORE combinations.

To obtain total dose equivalent by particles of all energies I recommend
to use USRBIN. USRTRACK gives spectra (fluence, dose, etc) as function of
energy which is probably not what you want.

Cheers

I want implement AUXSCORE card but have one question.

why do I need to set these indices?

      WHAT(4) : lower bound index (or corresponding name) of the indices of
the
                  detectors in which the associated scoring is activated
(see
                  Note 1)
                  ("From detector WHAT(4)....")
                  Default = 1.0

        WHAT(5) : upper bound index (or corresponding name) of the indices
of
the
                  detectors in which the associated scoring is activated
(see
                  Note 1)
                  ("to detector WHAT(5)....")
                  Default = WHAT(4)

As I understand.

1. I should set many USRTRACK (or USRBIN) cards for various particle types
(Neutron, Photon, ...) in a given region and last USRTRACK (or USRBIN)
card with part-type: DOSE-EQ,

2. then by setting these indices it gives AUXSCORE card information that
DOSES according that USRTRACK or USRBIN cards should be calculated.

3. So it calculates total EQ. DOSE generated by (Neutron, Photon, ..ie..)
together. And it doesn't calculate DOSE for particles, for which
USRTRACK (or USRBIN) cards are not exist.

4. What is better use USRBIN or USRTRACK to get EQ-DOSE distribution in
a space.

I want calculate TOTAL dose generated by some elementary ( outside of
concrete box) particles and If possible by all type of particles .
Below I attached my input file.
Give me any other advices if you could.

Thanks!
