Dear Gate Community,
Is there a way to run a simulation until a certain number of events have
been counted in a detector (rather than by simulation time)? I would
like to move a point source around in imaging space and obtain equal
counts in a gamma camera for each source position. The efficiency of the
collimator depends upon source position, so I can run longer simulations
and then scale down appropriately, but that necessarily wastes some run
time.
Thanks for any input.
