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><blockquote style="border:0;padding-left:6px;margin-left:10px;border-left:4px solid rgb(204, 204, 204)"> </blockquote><blockquote style="border:0;padding-left:6px;margin-left:10px;border-left:4px solid rgb(204, 204, 204)">_______________________________________________</blockquote><blockquote style="border:0;padding-left:6px;margin-left:10px;border-left:4px solid rgb(204, 204, 204)">Gate-users mailing list</blockquote><blockquote style="border:0;padding-left:6px;margin-left:10px;border-left:4px solid rgb(204, 204, 204)"><a href="mailto:Gate-users@lists.opengatecollaboration.org" target="_blank">Gate-users@lists.opengatecollaboration.org</a></blockquote><blockquote style="border:0;padding-left:6px;margin-left:10px;border-left:4px solid rgb(204, 204, 204)"><a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/lists.opengatecollaboration.org/mailman/listinfo/gate-users__;!!PAKc-5URQlI!5R6DdcwuD-nXX0bmvN3RckxZ2HEAgen9ExhbGuDcz_52hS9V1Rohx8vBP7HBR0msh9Bx0lNmj5dJ866ftlukHHjC8jk0_A$" target="_blank">https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://lists.opengatecollaboration.org/mailman/listinfo/gate-users__;!!PAKc-5URQlI!5R6DdcwuD-nXX0bmvN3RckxZ2HEAgen9ExhbGuDcz_52hS9V1Rohx8vBP7HBR0msh9Bx0lNmj5dJ866ftlukHHjC8jk0_A$</a> </blockquote><blockquote style="border:0;padding-left:6px;margin-left:10px;border-left:4px solid rgb(204, 204, 204)"> </blockquote><blockquote style="border:0;padding-left:6px;margin-left:10px;border-left:4px solid rgb(204, 204, 204)"><br></blockquote>
