Dear Vasilis (& Fluka users),

Haha! I like to do questions in batches :) Thanks for the answers!
Much appreciated!

Just to clear things up (I'm a bit confused):

I am now comparing the plots with the _tab.lis and _sum.lis files.

For the USRYIELD the _sum.lis file just says the units are double
differential, so I assume it's per charge&energy since my two
variables are particle charge and kinetic energy. The quantity in the
files are identical to what is in the plots. Is it it just giving me
the number of particles produced in the energy range and within the
bin per primary particle or do I have to multiply by something? I get
e.g. 3E-7 from particle charge 44.5 to 45.5.



For the USRBDX the units seem to be particles per GeV, cm^3 and
primary. E.g. 9.8E-4 GeV^-1 cm^-3 primary^-1 from 0.030-0.031 GeV. Do
I then multiply by 0.001 (bin width) to get the fluence in that
specific energy range?

But what is meant by cm^3? It's just a boundary...


And again with the uranium. Does this look ok?:


*...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....
MATERIAL 92. 235. 18.95 U235
MATERIAL 92. 238. 18.95 U238
COMPOUND -0.9928 U238 -0.0072 U235 URANIUM
LOW-MAT U238 92. 238. 296. 238-U
LOW-MAT U235 92. 235. 296. 235-U
ASSIGNMA URANIUM CONVERT



Input file is attached.


Best regards,
Vegard Gjerde
