Dear GATE users and developers,

A few weeks ago, we sent an email to the users list concerning a problem we are having with the newest version of GATE. The email was dated the 29th of November and is titled 'differences in energy spectra from different GATE releases'.

At the moment, we can no longer use reliably the newest version of GATE until this issue is resolved. To recall your attention, we showed a difference in the energy spectra produced by two identical simulations using two versions of GATE (version 3.0.0 and the newest 3.1.2). The newest version gives a different and unexpected result for the energy spectra as you can see from the figures attached in the previous email. (The energy spectra does not fall to zero!)

We kindly ask the developers and users to address this issue. In addition, if anyone would like to perform a similiar test on their version of GATE, we would be happy to provide the macro we used.

Thanks in advance,
Irene Torres and Jasmine Schirmer
