Dear Jianqi Chen,

please keep the discussion on the list and not privately, as recommended
plenty of times.
I'm not sure I understand the point of starting a second step after the
tracking of electromagnetic decay particles already in the first step. I
suggest you put directly in the first step a scoring of whatever you want
to calculate in the envisaged second step (typically residual dose rate).

Cheers

Francesco
