Dear all,
I am still trying to get alphas out of n+diamond_material interaction, but with no success.
So I switched to another code and for a 5 m thick diamond, I get alphas (and other heavy ions).
Then I went back to FLUKA and reduced the input at the minimum: only a diamond 500 cm thick and neutrons striking it.
I asked RESNUCLEI in the diamond region, but I only get C13 and C14, as product of n+natC.
Could anyone give a look, please?
If I look at the output file everything seems to have been activated
In my *.inp LOW-NEUT, WHAT(4)=4 asks for a printout of the information about the residual nuclei. This is dumped on the *.out file.
If I look at my *.out file I see that the neutrons I am shooting belong to the Neutron (low energy)
Xsec group number 5:
Neutron group n.: 5 upper limit 1.8221E-02 GeV, average energy 1.7995E-02 GeV,
velocity 5.7846E+09 cm/s, momentum 1.8477E-01 GeV/c
Later on, on the same *.out file, there is written that the FLUKA medium number 26 corresponds to the Xsec medium number 1.

Going down again in the *.out file there is written:

14 6 1.00E+00
1 1 4.18E-02
2 1 1.18E-01
4 2 5.25E-02
Therefore it means that in FLUKA the neutrons I am shooting have a certain probability (different from 0.0) to interact with the diamond and give alphas, Be-9, B-11 and B-12.
I thought it could have been a problem of statistics (I shoot 9E+7 neutrons on a material where lam-bias=-0.001) . But looking at those probabilities, it seems it's more likely to get B-12 than C-13 (IF i am understanding the table correctly...which is not sure).
But I get C-13 and C-14 only.
What am I missing,please?Thanks,regards,Francesca
