[Gate-users] ASCII output

[Simon Stute]

Hi Guo Ning,

What I will say is just a suggestion, I am not sure at all.
I think that between hits and singles the Adder, Readout and Blurring
modules of the digitizer are applied. So if your hits have scattered many
times in your crystal, I think the position, energy and time stamp mentioned
are for the last one. And so for your singles, there is a sort of average
applied by these modules that change the position, energy and time stamp.
From the last column of your ascii hits file, you can see what is the last
volume where a scatter interaction has occurred. So maybe you could see
'crystal' for some. And those which have not scattered in the crystal are
maybe affected by the blurring effects (spatial, energy), if you have fixed
some in your digitizer. Am I clear ?? :-)

Hope it helps,
Simon
