Dear everyone,

  When I see the XX001.out file,there are a few questions I cannot understand.The questions are as follows.
(1) **** ( Total multiple scatterings: 0.0000E+00: Total single scatterings: 1.8568E+09 )
What does this sentence mean? Does this sentence stand for the real numbers multiple scattering or single scattering ?

(2) 2.0000E-05 (100.%) GeV available per beam particle divided into
 Prompt radiation Radioactive decays
   0.0000E+00 ( 0.0%) 0.0000E+00 ( 0.0%) GeV hadron and muon dE/dx
   1.6333E-06 ( 8.2%) 0.0000E+00 ( 0.0%) GeV electro-magnetic showers
   0.0000E+00 ( 0.0%) 0.0000E+00 ( 0.0%) GeV nuclear recoils and heavy fragments
   0.0000E+00 ( 0.0%) 0.0000E+00 ( 0.0%) GeV particles below threshold
   0.0000E+00 ( 0.0%) 0.0000E+00 ( 0.0%) GeV residual excitation energy
   0.0000E+00 ( 0.0%) 0.0000E+00 ( 0.0%) GeV low energy neutrons
   1.8367E-05 (91.8%) 0.0000E+00 ( 0.0%) GeV particles escaping the system
   0.0000E+00 ( 0.0%) 0.0000E+00 ( 0.0%) GeV particles discarded
   0.0000E+00 ( 0.0%) 0.0000E+00 ( 0.0%) GeV particles out of time limit
   1.7524E-14 ( 0.0%) GeV missing
What does this part mean? Does it mean energy distribution? Anyway,I'm not sure.Could you give me a detailed explanation?

(3)1.6333E-06 ( 8.2%) 0.0000E+00 ( 0.0%) GeV electro-magnetic showers
If electro-magnetic showers possess a higher proportion(such as 20.2%),it means to produce more secondary electrons.Am I right?

Best Regards
