Dear Masoomeh Yarmohammadi,

All FLUKA results for prompt radiation are normalized per primary particle.
This means, that one can run for 1000 or 1e6 or 1e10 pimaries (START
card), the result will be THE SAME within statistical uncertainties.
The statistical uncertainty, however, depends on the number of primaries.

When asking for DOSE-EQ, FLUKA gives the results in picoSieverts per primary.

I leave to you as an interesting exercise the solution of your example,
that is independent on the specific MonteCarlo used.

Regards
Paola
