Dear all
I want using ausgab object to calculate the Edep and dose from a radioisotope. I am getting results in terms of MeV*cm2 and Gy*cm2. It is bit confusing why it is in this format? where from this cm2 comes from? How can I directly get it in MeV or Gy/Bq.s

That is part of the ‘per fluence’, which counts the number of disintegration events if you are using egs_radionuclide_source. To get MeV for that number of disintegrations, multiply by the fluence.

I see thanks Reid.

Hey Reid. I am supposed to just multiply the fluence and dose deposited, to the the dose. Right?

For example in this case I am supposed to multiply 505961*3.7637e-04 = dose?

If this is the case than I am no where near the results I am expecting. The variations are more than 100% variation

If you multiply the dose/fluence by the fluence, you get the dose for 505961 disintegration events. Maybe instead you should normalize your experimental data to dose per decay.
