Hello all,
This is a followup to a previous post about using USRYIELD to score
particle yields and possible double counting. My goal is to score
both particles made in muon and secondary interactions.
The previous post can be found here:

I wrote a user defined routine to correct for scoring of particles'
scattering, spallation etc. which brought my results with ~10% of the
published result at 270GeV. I then tried to reproduce results for
10.3GeV muons and I am getting 1.4 instead of 2.5 n per muon g/cm2
and 0.1 instead of 0.3 pion+ per muon g/cm2.
I realized by scoring inelastic collisions I was missing particle
decays which I thought was a small correction. I think I may also be
missing particles created in Low Energy Neutron interactions. If so
what is the proper way to score these particles? or may be more
generally what is the proper way to score particle yields in thick
detectors? (Detectors where total amount produced is more important
than what escapes).
Thank you,
Lindley
