Re: [Gate-users] RC setting of DETECT 2000

[Melanie Hohberg]

Hi!

A reflection coefficient RC could be specified to represent an external diffuse reflector. The value is the probability that, if a photon escapes from the surface, it is returned to the original medium by Lambertian reflection. 
A negative value tells DETECT that this event never occurs.

Best regards,
Melanie

Dear gaters:
<br />     In DETECT2000,there is surface finish parameter"RC".For example,"POLISH
<br />0.98RC".
<br />     My question is that:When 0.98RC is omitted ,the default value of RC is
<br />-1.Then what is the meaning of "-1RC".
<br />     Is the definition of RC just the same as in physics optics?
<br />     I'll appreciate for your help.
<br />
