<p>Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
I have questions concerning the EnergySpectrumActor and would appreciate any help with this matter:<br>
<br>
I follow the instructions given in the online documentation and call the actor with:<br>
<br>
</p>
<p></p>
<div>/gate/actor/addActor EnergySpectrumActor<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>
Fluenz_C12</div>
<div>/gate/actor/Fluenz_C12/attachTo Voxel</div>
<div>/gate/actor/Fluenz_C12/energySpectrum/setEmin 0 eV</div>
<div>/gate/actor/Fluenz_C12/energySpectrum/setEmax 4800 MeV</div>
<div>/gate/actor/Fluenz_C12/energySpectrum/setNumberOfBins 800</div>
<div>/gate/actor/Fluenz_C12/addFilter <span style="white-space:pre">
</span>particleFilter</div>
<div>/gate/actor/Fluenz_C12/particleFilter/addParticle <span style="white-space:pre">
</span>C12</div>
<span>/gate/actor/Fluenz_C12/saveAsText true</span>
<p></p>
<p><br>
In the documentation it states that "By default 3 histograms are enabled: The fluence and energy deposition spectra differential in energy and the energy deposition spectrum as a function of LET."<br>
And further down it is mentioned that by default the outputs are not normalized.<br>
However, when using the actor like this I receive:<br>
The energyEdepSpectrum.txt and the energySpectrumFluenceTrack.txt.<br>
The documentation state that the FluenceTrack is an output that is option and needs to be enabled specifically (which I didn't do).<br>
And I do not receive an Output for the fluence as it is described in the documentation even though it is one of the 3 default outputs.<br>
Lastly the output files state in the header that the results in the second column are relative frequencies normalized (nb divided by NbEvent). <br>
<br>
Do I misunderstand the descriptions given in the documentation or do the .txt outputs differ from the expected results.<br>
Most importantly does some one know how I might be able to obtain the fluence using this actor?<br>
<br>
With kind regards <br>
Pascal</p>
