Dear Helga
the simplest solution is actually a pre-defined scoring:
you should make use of a USRBDX to score the energy distribution of
protons at the boundary between the degrader and a further
downstream region that you can easily define. One-way current
of fluence scoring.

About of mgdraw:
the us of USDRAW is in any case a wrong choice, since it gives you
access to what occurred in an interaction inside the
degrader region, but the energy loss in the material before exiting
the degrader has not yet been taken into account.
The correct entry point in mgdraw.f would be BXDRAW at the boundary that
is of your interest, as the one I mentioned before, but this would
eventually give the same results of USRBDX.
