I'm trying to simulate a simple geometry to access only primary
interactions. It consists of a block of lead (9cm thick), and I shoot
gamma-ray (511keV, 10Bq for 1 sec) in one direction (Source-Surface
Distance=10cm). I have no phantom. I set electron cut to 1 km, X- and
Delta-Ray cuts to 1 GeV. I activate only photoelectric and Compton
effects (low energy for both).<br>
I finally obtain 14 events.<br>
<br>
I cannot understand why I have so many Compton effects (20 single
diffusions and 7 double) with nCrystalCompton (on the Hits branch)
(attached) whereas I have only 10 LowEnCompton on the processName sheet
(attached). Could someone explain it to me? The GATE display gives me
well 10 Compton.<br>
Moreover, on the Gate display, I can't understand this lines:<br>

Why Gate tracks the electron #2? Even so, it comes from a Compton effect. It is the only Compton electron tracked.<br>
<br>
Has anyone explanation for it? Please help me.<br>
