Function Documentation

static __inline int EBF__mcEnergyToMev

(

unsigned int

mcEnergy

)

[static]

Converts an energy in Monte Carlo Format to Mev.

Returns:

The energy in MeV

Parameters:

mcEnergy

The Monte Carlo Energy to convert

The energy stored in the Monte Carlo information record is a 16 bit pseudo floating point value. The most significant 3-bits act as the exponent, while the low 12 bits act as the mantissa. The conversion formula is

        E_in_Mev = mantissa << exp;
