I am interested to find the electron yield of a material like Aluminium by incident photon of energy let say 2 Me. I used
Mode p e
And tally
F11: e accros desired surface
F21: p across desired surface
only to find its value. Is it necessary to use phy card as well or no need of it. Thanks in advance

It depends on exactly the question you want to answer, but incoherent (Compton) scattering is special reaction number -1 for photons. So the following UNTESTED tally might work for the total number of Compton events per source photon.
Code:
f4:p <cell number>
sd4 1.0 $ Not the per unit volume answer. The total.
fm4 -1 <material in the cell> -1
 
Basically I want to find the electron yield of Au-79 by incident gamma photon of energy 2 Mev using point gamma source. Here if I use mode p e and if i use tallis F11:p (incident photon on front plate of AU-79) and F21:e (emitted electron by Au-79 due to incident photon). Yield=F21:e/F11:p. My sdef card will be like
Sdef Erg=2 parr=2 pos=0 0 30
m1 79000 -1
m2 air composition
Mode p e
Nps 1000000
