Fix the DOSRZnrc kerma calculation so that sub-threshold fluorescent photons (
iarg=33
) are included in the kerma. This bug meant thatD/K
andD/Kcol
were not equal to 1 for some cases, up to about a 0.8% difference. This makes the algorithm slightly different from the g app, where only primary photons are considered, because DOSRZnrc includes the kerma from secondary photons.Add some output formatting improvements to DOSRZnrc. Also add the
IDC
or I Double Count variable to allow the user to avoid including k.e. released by any bremsstrahlung or 511 photons. Some comments are also added to improve the readability of the code, and a never-reached code block was removed.Thanks to Dave Rogers and Ernesto for all their work on these improvements!
