Dear Sir, I am calculating surface dose rate of filter by using usrtrack card for 662KeV gamma photon energy. i want to know what is normalization factor used for calculating dose in mR/h from usertrack output.
Dear @sharmaram,
In order to help you, you should provide a few more details. Are you using a primary beam of photon or are you simulating the Cesium-137 decay?
It is not clear to me also why you want to use USRTRACK rather than built-in scoring to estimate dose rate.
I would suggest you to have a look at the lectures on scoring and on activation from the last Fluka course.
Hello expert, I did the simulation to measure the DOSE of the cylinder (on contact and 1m ) drums filled with water and equivalent Dose also using usrtrack card. I used 10E5 primary histories and energy of 662KeV gamma photon Beam.
- I scored Dose and dose-eq In usrtrack card.
- both scoring outputs are different in the unit.
Scoring-Dose
Doses will be expressed in GeV/g per unit primary weight.
To obtain the dose in Gy, multiply GeV/g by 1.602176462E-7.
Scoring- Dose-eq
Dose eq will be expressed in psv per unit primary weight.
correct? - I want to calculate Dose in Gy/h in both cases. suggest correct normalization factor
for both cases. - Radiation factor of the gamma photon is 1. so Dose and dose-eq both are the same
in the case of the gamma photon.
will Fluka give the same Dose Result in both cases after the normalization factor
used?
Dear @sharmaram,
In order to let other people understand your study case, it’s always better to share your input. Would you mind sharing your .flair file?
