&ETRNS

 

This record is used to describe electron specific parameters. This namelist must be specified in each input deck.

E0 --- Initial Electron Energy

This variable specifies the initial electron energy in keV.

EF --- Final Electron Energy

This variable specifies the energy in eV below which the electron is considered stopped, i.e. the simulation continues with next electron.

NETRN --- Total Number of Electrons

This variable specifies the total number of electrons to be simulated. The simulation time will be roughly proportional to NETRN while statistical errors for Poisson distributed quantities decrease with the square root of NETRN (see Chapter 7. In case of the continuation of a previous run ( USEBK=T), NETRN specifies the total number of electrons including those simulated in the previous run.
