Hello everyone !
I wanted to ask you if anyone ever encountered problems with proton transport using MCNP. In particular, the production of electrons when protons interact with matter. I have been trying to figure it out modifying the different physics cards (phys, lca, ...) with no result. Since a proton is a charged particle, ionization is expected and not even a single secondary particle is created while, in the output file most (if not all) of the incident protons are lost by energy cutoff meaning that they lose energy.
If anyone with experience in proton transport could enlighten me or give me some clues, it would be great.
Thanks,
Antonio
