What is the most appropriate syntax for using F4 tally for many cells in MCNP? Besides, i need a detailed clarification of how the output file can be analyzed.
F4 tally is average flux in a cell. You can obtain the average flux in output data. Maybe i can help you if you extend your question a bit more.
mode p
sdef pos=0 0 100 axs=0 0 -1 erg=0.120 par=2

Here you see the F4 tally appropriate syntax. There i giving command the input that "Consider the Photon and Give me the average flux in cell 4" and also when you look the output file, you will see and average value in the down of cell part. This is your average flux.
Tally F4 is the averaged tracklength in a predefined volume divided by volume for one primary particle BUT you can use it freely as volume flux. They have equivalent meanings and applications.
