Default options for transport parameters in the EGSnrc manual PIRS-701 needs updating. For example, @dworogers noted the following outdated passage regarding the default photon cross section:
In the current version of EGSnrc, the user has the option to use photon
cross section data other than the default Storm & Israel data. To do this,
the user must set the character variable photon xsections (part of the
COMIN/MEDIA common block) to the name of the cross section data to use.
Cross sections included with the EGSnrc distribution are: i
the Evaluated Photon Data Library[44] (set photon xsections= "epdl")
XCOM data from Berger & Hubbell[37] (set photon xsections= "xcom" – also the default in the absence of any input)
The linked passage is incorrect, given that the default was changed in 2012:
Upon updating PIRS-701 a lot of outdated defaults EGSnrc transport parameters was revealed across all applications and inside the code, which should all be updated.
