I couldn't find anything about this card, unfortunately, which guide do you use in the guide?Aaron Barnard said:The card you need to add to the input file is 'STOPHZ'. This card is used to specify the stopping power for a single energy value. You can find more information about this card in the FLUKA manual.
To find the stopping power for a single energy value in FLUKA, you will need to run a simulation using the FLUKA software. This simulation will calculate the energy deposition of a particle as it passes through a material. The stopping power can then be calculated using the energy deposition and the particle's velocity.
In order to calculate the stopping power in FLUKA, you will need to provide the material properties of the material the particle is passing through, as well as the energy and velocity of the particle. You will also need to specify the type of particle and the desired energy range for the calculation.
Yes, FLUKA is capable of calculating the stopping power for a wide range of particles, including electrons, protons, neutrons, and heavy ions. However, the accuracy of the calculation may vary depending on the type of particle and the energy range.
FLUKA is known for its high accuracy in simulating particle interactions, including the calculation of stopping power. However, the accuracy of the results may be affected by the complexity of the simulation and the input parameters provided. It is always recommended to validate the results with experimental data.
FLUKA is a powerful tool for simulating particle interactions, but there are some limitations to keep in mind when using it for stopping power calculations. These include the need for extensive computational resources, the complexity of the software, and the need for expertise in using the software. It is important to carefully consider these limitations before using FLUKA for stopping power calculations.
