Hi again, I have a geometry with rock and scintillator. I am simulating some particles through them and reaching the scintillator bar. Usually at lower amounts of events the Scintillation Photons agree with Energy deposition however at 10,000 events, there is a significant discrepancy. I have coupl…

Hello, in a typical simulation case the of all energies of optical photons is much less than actual energy deposition of a particle inside scintillator. 10000 optical photon energy is very small. VI

Ah it seems the Edep calculation doesn’t take account of secondaries, so that may explain some secondaries depositing energy while it doest show up in Edep ?
