Dear FLUKA experts and users,
When simulating alphas moving through helium in SRIM and FLUKA I found that FLUKA tallied higher energies than SRIM, so I investigated and found that FLUKA outputs lower stopping powers for helium (Using SDUM = PRINT in the deltaray card) and those given in the TRIM/NIST databases as well as those in ICRU 49 (See figure attached).
Is this a known issue or am I going wrong somewhere - although I don't see where. I am just initialising alphas with ~0.005 GeV and printing the stopping power to the output with he DELTARAY card.
Thanks,
Luke
