@ftessier and @edoerner: I'm just wondering if this has been tested on Mac. I've been trying to get "make mpi" to work, but I'm running into a strange "clang (LLVM...

In the short(er) term, try decreasing $NDIST1_MAX (the no. of data sets that can be stored internally at one time). Unless you're comparing dose from two different .3ddose files, you...

@rtownson: I finally had a chance to look at this issue posted to reddit > 1 yr ago (!). The documentation for egs_phsp_scoring states (maybe not clearly enough) that when...

This is excellent! I tested out dynamic motion of a fairly complex rotating geometry within a stationary one (I also threw in some translation for good measure), and I was...

Plots showing results of some initial tests in which I compared spectra using DBS in egs++, BEAMnrc and beampp in 2 different applications: 1. EX16MVp ![EX16MVp_DBS_comparison_spectra](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/14313534/224454154-d27bc04d-849b-4976-a3e6-070d3bcc7086.png) 2. A 450 kVp...

Update 13/05/2023: After implementing BEAMnrc's SmartCompton algorithm (translated into C++) in the egs_radiative_splitting DBS routine, agreement between BEAMnrc and egs++ in the 450 kVp tube case shown above is inching...

Update 07/07/2023: After finding/fixing the bug in the SmartCompton method which was causing the odd high weight photon to be scored inside the splitting field (see update from 13/05/2023 above),...

Update 09/22/2023: Implementation of beampp's SmartCompton algorithm in egs++ (as opposed to the BEAMnrc SmartCompton algorithm from the previous update) results in similar differences with BEAMnrc: ![450kV_rad_splitting_test_in_vac_smart_compt_6_diff_bpp_sc](https://github.com/nrc-cnrc/EGSnrc/assets/14313534/9c0072ef-80f4-4683-a7bd-6b398bdecc6b) **Erratum: The first...

That's where it's at, @mainegra. My next debugging step will be to see if there's something going on with the energies of the split brem photons. These energies are determined...

## **Update 31/05/2024:** There've been a couple of major fixes in the DBS splitting routine over the past couple of months. Most significant of these stems from the realization that...
