<div dir="ltr" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px; font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.600000381469727px;">I believe the limit is caused by the use of <strong style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">int</strong> variable type in Geant4 for the number of particles. </div>

<div dir="ltr" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px; font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.600000381469727px;">You can just run a similar second simulation but ensure to set a different random seed.</div>

> Hi everyone,<br />
><br />
> I noticed that the simulation doesn't proceed when I use more than 2E+9<br />
> particles. Does anyone know how I can use more than 2 billion particles?<br />
> I found the command "/gate/output/ascii(binary)/setOutFileSizeLimit" at<br />
> the User's Guide but it doesn't work.<br />
> Moreover I don't want ascii files as I use dose actors for dose<br />
> calculations and I want many particles to reduce the dose uncertainty.<br />
