How to make output using secodary or multiple kernel using Egsnrc?

[kangdongsan]

Hello, I was wondering how can I get the secondary or multiple kernel using EGSNRC.
Using EGS I can get the Total and Primary kernel using EGSNRC sample example file.

Recently paper used just total or primary, but I want to get the more kernel data.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The older algorithm in EDKnrc used by source 2 produces a file with all the components broken down, but it may suffer from numerical artifacts. The old algorithm encounters from possible round-off errors and unrealistic energy deposition of sub-threshold particles in the first region. Currently, source 0 only produces the total and primary EDK.

Hi rtownson.
Can I ask one more question?
I want to know more about ".egsdat" file.
There are many values in".egsdat" file. but, I couldn't classified by meaning of values although I saw the manual.
----.egsdat file ----

----manual----

Thank you.

The egsdat file is not meant to be used directly, which is why its format is not described. It's also different for each application. You could try to figure it out from reading the code, but I don't see why you would. All of the results from combining .egsdat files is output at the end of a simulation, so it handles reading the .egsdat files for you.

While preprocessing the EGSlst file, I had a question.
In ENERGY DEPOSITION KERNEL, I saw that each fraction is given by angle and radius, but I wanted to know how much energy is deposited in each voxel. Another command allows me to see the dose together, so I extracted the result. When I nomalized the fraction with dose, the result was different from the result of ENERGY DEPOSITION KERNEL. Am I not understanding the output correctly?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've attached the output below.

I'm not quite sure what you're comparing. In the energy deposition kernel, it lists the energy deposited in each voxel per source particle, not the fraction. Does that clarify things?

Thank you as always. I understand exactly what I was confused about.
