Stopping power and projected range for FLUKA code

In summary, the conversation revolves around calculating stopping power and projected range for aluminum in FLUKA, and locating this data in the output file. The user also asks about editing input files and finding documentation for FLUKA. They provide some links for reference and mention the possibility of contacting the group at CERN.

How do I calculate the stopping power or projected range for aluminum in Fulka. And in which output file is this data located?How can I edit a change in the input file?
The title of the example of "Charged pion fluence inside and around a proton-irradiated Be target"

So, is one looking at slowing down of protons in Al? Or, other particles? Slowing down of protons, subatomic particles, and nuclei are different.

I'm not a FLUKA user yet, but I'll probably get there. I've been using PENELOPE (U. of Barcelona) and starting to learn PHITS (JAEA)

I'm finding the documentation to FLUKA to be challenging.

See if the following helps:

Meanwhile, I'll look into the matter to see if I can find a simple explanation.

It might be worthwhile to contact the group at CERN.

1. What is stopping power in FLUKA code?

Stopping power in FLUKA code refers to the ability of a material to slow down or stop the passage of particles such as electrons, protons, and photons. It is a measure of how much energy is lost by a particle as it travels through a material.

2. How is stopping power calculated in FLUKA code?

The stopping power in FLUKA code is calculated using the Bethe-Bloch equation, which takes into account the density and atomic properties of the material, as well as the energy and charge of the particle.

3. What factors affect the stopping power in FLUKA code?

The stopping power in FLUKA code is affected by the type of particle, the energy of the particle, the density and composition of the material, and the angle of incidence of the particle.

4. What is projected range in FLUKA code?

Projected range in FLUKA code is the distance that a particle travels through a material before it loses all of its energy. It takes into account the stopping power of the material and the energy of the particle.

5. How is projected range calculated in FLUKA code?

Projected range in FLUKA code is calculated using the SRIM (Stopping and Range of Ions in Matter) algorithm, which takes into account the stopping power and energy loss of the particle as it travels through a material.
