<font size="-1">Hi Sylvain,<br>
Here is a short summary (in french) about dose uncertainty in GATE
that I've wrote some times ago (it's a personnal note...so quite
basic and not very well written).<br>
Hope it helps to answer your questions.<br>
If something is not clear, don't hesitate to send me a mail.<br>
Best regards,<br>
Nicolas Arbor<br>
