But the ascii optical adder file and ascii hit files are empty indicating that no photons are detected. <br>
<br>(Is there any condition that only optical photons generated from a scintillation process only will be detected ? because when I define a scintillating crystal between the source and glass cylinder optical photons are detected)<br>
</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div style>no. Any optical photons should be detected by the surface not only secondaries from scintillation. </div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<div style>Can you show how you define the geometry and the digitizer? You can also take a look at the example_OPTICAL.</div><div style><br></div><div style>vesna</div><div><br></div></div>
