Dear experts,
I have encountered an issue. I would like to compare the contributions of different secondary particles to the absorbed dose during proton irradiation of water. I am not entirely clear on how FLUKA handles the issue of production thresholds. For instance, if the production threshold for electrons is 100 keV, electrons below this threshold will not be statistically produced but instead, the corresponding energy will be locally deposited. In this case, should the deposited energy be attributed to electrons or considered as a contribution from protons?
Thank you.
