DETECT Card - Spikes in the Spectrum

  1. The error you see is not related to the inputfile. In my simulation, I tend to use tsp (task spooler) to run cycles in parallel and test multiple options with less time. See this discussion for instance: How to use the maximum speed and memory available on your PC? - #4 by illia.zymak

  2. Very good! It is indeed a good practice to use single scattering when you have thin layers

  3. I attach here the inputfile:
    DETECT_Card.inp (3.9 KB)

  4. The DETECT card scores energy deposition on an event by event basis. This scoring option is indeed quite peculiar and is typically requested in detectors. You have plenty of options to score energy deposition, as USRBIN for scoring the (total) energy deposition on a regular spatial structure, or EVENTBIN which prints the energy deposition after each event.
