Dear Juan,
the maximum energy in your USRTRACK is set to 1.e-2 GeV, that is lower
than the beam energy. Note that USRTRACK scores total energy, while the
BEAM card assigns energy per atomic mass unit.
The DPMJET card is not needed, it is a card used only to set properties
related to the high energy ion interaction generator, that is not used
here.
By asking a heavy ion beam the heavy ion transport/interactions are
activated by default. Otherwise, the card to be used is IONTRANS.
Regards
Paola
