Dear Guillem, You are right, there is a problem in the application of energy cuts in GATE v3.1.2. The OpenGATE collaboration is aware of the problem and this issue is addressed in the collaboration activities. In order to resolve the problem in GATE v3.1.2, several changes are needed to be made in some GATE and Geant4's lowenergy electromagnetic processes classes. In our group at Sofia University we have implemented 2 patches that resolve the problem in GATE v3.1.2 - the first patch adds the neccesary modifications to GATE's source code, and the second patch modifies the corresponding G4 classes. So if you are interested in patching your current GATE/G4 installation we can send you an archive with the modifications and instructions on how to compile. Please note that we are still testing the above two patches (so far the results from the tests indicate that the problem is fixed), and as they are under testing, they are not included in GATE v. 3.1.2 distribution.

Is anybody aware of problems with setXRayCut ? I am using GATE v3.1.2 On another subject, is the mailing-list archive still available online ?
