Thank you @adonadon and @amario for the guidance.

I got the output of RESNUCLE , I have not used any volume, so is the unit of the output in Bq/cc ? The manual said that if I put mass in that ‘vol’ entry, the output will be in Bq/kg. That entry acts like a normalisation. Hence I am unable to properly understand what to put there if I want total activity produced in the target due to activation?
-
Is it possible to get mass of activation products produced like we get activity in the output ?
-
Is it possible to get information on activation product activity during irradiation stages? What I understood is we can get the information through RESNUCLE at each cooling period. Is it possible to get these values during irradiation stages also, say, at each 1 hr, 10 days of irradiation stages etc in a single run ? I can use a cooling period of 0 but then multiple simulation will be needed at each irradiation stage. Is there any alternative way to do so ?
-
I am also interested in gamma emission rate from the gamma emitting radio-nuclides produced as a result of activation. I can place an air detector in front of the target and use USRTRACK to score the photons reaching there. Is it a proper approach or is there any other card available to directly get the photon emission rate from activated radionuclides ? Also in this case, do I have to keep both transport threshold for prompt part for decay part low ? (as opposed to the previous case where I have increased transport threshold for prompt part)
-
Can we get this photon emission information radiouclide wise ? I mean, to identify which radionuclides are the major contributor of gamma dose at various cooling periods ?
