( REAL) and on output the energy equivalent to the calorimeter response in the current step.

Organic scintillators are usually calibrated with particles whose energy is near the minimum ionisation (γβ≈4 ). However, the energy response of such scintillators for large local energy deposit is attenuated. GBIRK returns the energy detected by the scintillator in the current step.
