Hi
this is the attached file . i want to get the flux at the end of BSA which is cell 7 also the flux of cell 8 is less than 5e8. now my target is to get the flux greater than 5e8. thank you to all

You have a target of lithium-7 on copper on alumina etc inside an iron container inside a hydrogen filled space in a large beryllium sphere. Is that right?

You want the neutron flux in the beryllium sphere to exceed 5e8 n/sqcm.second? What is the activity of the neutron source?

What does BSA mean please?

yes you are right. BSA means " Beam Shape Assembly" . and you are right i want flux 5e8. acutually i am doing Boron neutron capture therapy
 
It might be more normal to simulate for a flux inside some sort of tissue. But you have a sphere of BeO, and you want a flux of 5e8 in it, and it's 6 meters in diameter?

What is the rate of particle production in the source?
 
my neutrons production is in cell 3 and i need the flux at the end of the cell 7
