<DIV>Dear Mario.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Take a look at your LYSO material definition in GATE and GEANT4. LYSO is a mixture of Lu and Y at the proportions which may vary greately between crystal producers. Default LYSO in Gate has a lot of Y if I remember well. This may be the cause of your problems.</DIV>
