If you score 'DOSE' per region you will get GeV*volume[cm^3]/g/primary. To obtain the dose per primary you will need to divide by the volume of the region.
Alternatively you score in a rectangular grid with a single bin matching the dimensions of your cube, and then you DO NOT need to divide by the volume.

Subject: [fluka-discuss]: Total Dose in a certain region
Dear Fluka experts
I am facing a theoretically simple task in which I found some throuble.
My task is to evaluate the toal dose (in Gy) given to a certain simple body (e.g. a cube) when exposed to a certain source. To give an example, I am thinking to an "hand" exposed to a pointlike source.
So what I want is simply the total dose given to the hand (cube) volume.
Can I just use a Region USRBIN for the cube region? Is what I get the total dose in that volume per incident particle?
My doubts arise from the fact that scoring by Region there is no division by volume in the result as i understood, but somehow the volume as to be considered for the total dose to the hand, no!?
So, to make it simple: is the USRBIN card with the Region binning the right thing to do?
Thanks in advance
Martina
p.s. I found a pretty interesting topic here (
