DOSE-H20 scoring wrong

[Tree (Qinqin Cheng)]

Dear experts:

I want to compare the difference between the dose and dose to water in fluka. I put a air cavity in the water phantom, but I got wrong when I used the choice DOSE-H20 even though the procedure did work when using DOSE part.

I do not know why. here are my flair file and wrong output information.

Did you try to search on the forum for the same error message?

DOSE-H20 scoring fails

Hi, I was scoring dose from electrons in a water volume. When selecting DOSE-H20 as particle type, the run aborts with: ??? Alphbt: radiobio. file still to be read ???V79_MCTPS Abort called from ALPHBT reason FILE NOT FOUND Run stopped! STOP FILE NOT FOUND When selecting DOSE as particle type for the scoring, the run completes fine. Cheers, Markus

Dear amario:

Sorry, Thank you for reminding me of this and gave me the link.

I have another two questions about this:

1. If I just want to scorer the dose to water, the file in RAD-BIOL card actually is not used in simulation, right?

2. Is there any document that introduces the method of calculating dose to water in fluka?

1. DOSE-H2O do not require the RAD-BIOL. You need the RAD-BIOL card for ALPHA-D and SQBETA-D scoring
