Questions on Dose-H20

Hello, Otto

Thank you for your explanation. I found the explanation on this topic:

The meaning of DOSE-H2O

Dear Fluka experts, As in the title, what does DOSE-H2O score in RAD-BIOL and TPSSORE? what’s the difference between DOSE and DOSE-H2O? I tried thses two scoring in the same run. There are two materials: first in the front depth of 3 cm; the second material start from the depth of 3 cm to the end. There is an obvious difference in two scores between the two materials, which is marked with the red circle of the figure. Why DOSE-H2O is smooth but DOSE with a decrease? Thanks in advance for your…

I discovered that the results for the DOSE option need to be multiplied by 1.602176462E-7 to obtain reasonable results compared to the DOSE-H2O option.

I am quite confused about how FLUKA calculates the dose to water.
