Dear Sir,

Thank you so much for your answer.

But some one tell me that that some months ago, this threshold for deuteron, 3He were at 150MeV/nucleon. Could you please confirm this point for me ? Is this the threshold for the transport or the nuclear reaction of theses ions ?

Thank you.

Hi,

below you are mixing up PRECISIO and NEW-DEFA default settings, which are
alternative to each other. The first indeed adopts 100 keV thresholds, the
second 10 MeV. Now, light ions up to alphas included take by default these
respective thresholds, i.e. 100 keV or 10 MeV intended as total kinetic
energy, so corresponding to different energies per nucleon depending on
the ion mass. A safe way to ascertain what is going on is to look at the
output file, where the (total kinetic) thresholds actually applied are
printed.
For all heavier ions, the alpha threshold scaled by the mass ratio
applies, i.e. 25keV/A or 2.5 MeV/A.

Cheers

Francesco
