Dear Masa,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">May I summarise your requirements:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">1) You mention that you want to simulate a CsI detector, but with 100 % detection efficiency and no interaction within the detector. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">2) You would like to distinguish between scattered and primary rays.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">3) A monochromatic pencil beam enters a phantom.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">My suggestion:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I would suggest using a phase space actor (see the <a href="https://opengate.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tools_to_interact_with_the_simulation_actors.html#phase-space-actor" class="">documentation here</a>), which registers each particle's energy,
position, velocity etc. crossing its surface. Since you do not want to simulate interaction in your CsI detector material, there is no need to use it in the first place.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Since you are using a pencil beam, all primary photons will go straight through your phantom, intersecting your detector at, for example, point (0,0). All scattered radiation will intersect your detector away from point (0,0). Hence, you can filter
out the scatter and primary rays purely based on where they end up on your detector.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">To set up your detector, use e.g. a box volume with the desired size, fill it with vacuum, and attach a phase space actor to it. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">If you need more help, please let us know.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Best regards,</div>
<div class="">David </div>

I am masa@japan and new to Gate.
I am currently working on a simple simulation.
I am trying to find the point spread function of the scattered rays detected by a CsI detector by injecting a pencil beam of monochromatic X-rays into an acrylic phantom.
Assuming a detector detection efficiency of 100%, I want to output the spread of scattered radiation when it enters the detector.
No interaction occurs with the detector. I also want to output scattered rays and primary rays separately.
How should I set up the detector in such a case?
Should I use Fluence Actor for detection?
Or should I use a sensitive detector?
I would appreciate it if you could help me.
Thank you.</pre>
