<div dir="ltr">Gate Users,<div><br></div><div>In an attempt to simplify my simulation to identify the problems, I am using VGate to model an alpha source, a plastic scintillator, and a PMT. However, when I run my simulation nothing happens; no optical photons are generated.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I use the OpticalSystem, and set my scintillator material to be a crystalSD. I have defined my surfaces and have the surface going from my scintillator to PMT set as perfect_apd (dielectric-metal). My alpha source is placed just above the scintillator. </div>
