Dear All,

Thank you very much for all your help! All makes sense!

Many, many thanks,
Ana

Hi Ana

complementing Mikhail's answer, which already hit the main point, the
proton mass is more precisely 938.27231 MeV, as given by the AMPRTN
parameter in $FLUPRO/flukapro/\(DBLPRC\).

Concerning ICODE = 101 in mgdraw, it refers to any non-elastic nuclear
reaction, including what you previously indicated as inelastic, which in
that meaning is just a specific subset of non-elastic channels. Note
however that often in real life inelastic is used (as in the USDRAW
header) as synonym of non-elastic, and not in the restricted meaning you
reported

Cheers

Francesco

The file "carbon_200001_fort.98" is an example of my output file and the energy of the particles that undergo an inelastic interaction is about 1 GeV which does not make sense since my projectile has a maximum energy of 200 MeV.
