[Gate-users] Ion particle simulation Issue

Great thanks,

It does seem to work now, the simulation runs without the Bus error in
this case (Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger
on intel core Duo). I still need to test this on the SUN, which gets a
segmentation violation.

I'm not that familiar with C++. I made the change in
$GATEHOME/src/GateDecayPhysics.cc then did a make clean then make for
the whole of GATE and had trouble with out of date libraries etc. so it
took some time. Is there a simpler way?

Hi,

Could you test this patch

In GateDecayPhysics, after line #72, insert the following line:

theIonTable->GetParticle(i)->SetAtomicMass(1);     // GEANT4 Bug Fix
#846

and let me known if it works fine

Cheers
Seb
