Hi Morgan,
a question about how the decay chain works. If simulating an
event, does the simulator pick a decay from a random decay from the
decay chain assuming all the decay products are
in equilibrium?
So if there's currently a problem with the decay chain could this be
simulated by
eg
100KBq of 238U
100kBq of 234Th
100kBq of 234Pa
etc for the rest of the chain.
Thanks,
Carl
an example. If beta_decays.dat hacked to give the chain
CHAIN: 238U
4
238U 0001 1.0000 2 1.410e+17
234Th 0001 1.0000 1 2.080e+06
234Pa 0001 1.0000 1 2.412e+04
#234U 0001 1.0000 2 7.747e+12
230Th 0001 1.0000 2 2.379e+12
This works...
CHAIN: 238U
4
238U 0001 1.0000 2 1.410e+17
234Th 0001 1.0000 1 2.080e+06
234Pa 0001 1.0000 1 2.412e+04
234U 0001 1.0000 2 7.747e+12
#230Th 0001 1.0000 2 2.379e+12
seg faults.
NB Just using 234U as the source (not a chain) works too..
