Dear Lars,
yes, the scored quantity is RULL.
No, the printed values are not correct..in the comscw you attach, the
value from GETLET is received in an integer variable (LETV is integer
according to standart fortran implicits), thus LETV always contains Zero.
For info: Getlet returns (un)restricted LET in (keV/(um g/cm3)).
One should NOT change sign to the particle ID in the call to getlet ( yes,
changing sign is needed to retrieve the mass if iJ<-6, but getlet does
this on its side.)
Be also careful to normalization: USRBIN energy values are normalized per
cubic centimeter, and normalization occurs a the end of the run. So, your
results will depend on the bin size.
Hope this helps
Paola
