Hi, I'm new in this forum and I have a question about MCNPX.

I would like to determine the position of each interaction between photons and matter (specially by Compton scattering.) And I would like to know how much energy the incident photon gave to the electron.
Is it possible to do that with MCNP ? Somebody have already try to do something similar ?

Thank you for your help.

Hey there,

I'm looking into a similar function of MCNP and I think you want to look into a data card called "PTRAC". This will output an additional file with the location of the interaction. I think this can also produce vector information that could potentially be useful for a hand computation of the energy deposited.

Hope this helps.
