How can I calculate the stopping power for aluminum in Fluka?

In summary, the DELTARAY card in Fluka allows you to calculate the stopping power of a given material for a specific particle at a given energy.

How can I calculate the stopping power for aluminum in Fluka? I want to send 100 kevlik proton, I add deltaray card to target aliminuma.input file and this card is processing 10 MeV for some reason.
Code:

In Fluka, you can use the DELTARAY card to calculate the stopping power of aluminum. This card processes the energy of particles before they enter the material. It can be used to calculate the energy loss of particles travelling through a given material. The syntax for this card is as follows: DELTARAY <energy> <material> [<particle>] [<options>]where <energy> is the energy of the particles entering the material, <material> is the name of the material, and <particle> is the particle type. The <options> parameter can be used to specify additional options, such as whether or not to print out the energy losses. In your case, you would use: DELTARAY 0.01 ALUMINUM PROTONto calculate the stopping power for 100 keV protons entering aluminum.
