Integrated fluxes and radiation doses in Run XV: pp 200, pAu 200, and pAl200.
Results of flux and radiation dose calculation based on pythia (pp200) and hijing (pAu 200 and p Al 200) and GEANT3+GCALOR for STAR geometry y2015 are summirized on

For normalization were used James Dunlop estimation for integrated luminosity

and his estimation of cross sections
06/24/15 ====================
BBC cross section is something like 50x the trigger version of the ZDC coincidence,
which has cross section 11.4/1.68/0.96 = 7 mb, i.e.
http://www.star.bnl.gov/protected/common/common2015/trigger2015/plots_pAl200gev/plots.html#BBCMB
i.e. 0.35 b
Cross-check:
For the pAu, BBC cross section is something like 80x the trigger version of the ZDC coincidence,
which has cross section 35/1.68 = 21 mb, i.e. 1.6 b
Checking scaling, should go roughly like A^(2/3), so
1.6 b/(197^{2/3})* (27^{2/3}) = 0.43 b, bit high.
Alternatively, as an estimate 40 mb * 27^{2./3.} = 0.36 b, pretty close.
The 1.6b for p+Au might be an overestimate due to backgrounds, because the BBC/ZDC shows a lot of structure.
I think Glauber gives something closer to 1.5 b.
BBC should be sensitive to most of the inelastic cross section. So something like 0.35 b should be close
for the inelastic cross section for p+Al.
