Dear Rajesh,
There was a similar question for Bragg peak:
http://www.fluka.org/web_archive/earchive/new-fluka-discuss/8040.html
http://www.fluka.org/web_archive/earchive/new-fluka-discuss/8041.html
Such result for proton beam because of hadronic cascade in water
(production of pions) when the energy of proton beam is high enough to
produce pions and other mesons.
Best regards,
Mikhail
