SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on calculating the saturation limit of electron yield from gamma photon interactions with a metal sheet using MCNP (Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport Code). Users seek methods to evaluate the saturation limit for varying photon incident numbers, specifically ranging from 106 to 1012 photons. The conversation emphasizes the need for precise methodologies to interpret MCNP results, which are reported per particle, to derive meaningful saturation limits.
