[Gate-users] Time distribution of source emissions ??

[Sanae Rechka]

Hi,

Thank you very much for your answer, but it's not really what I need, If I
suppose that the half life is very big (many years) and I'm doing a simulation
just for one second or few seconds, in this case I'm not interested in the
source decay, but what I'm interested in is the time that separate emissions
during this second, I mean the emissions probability law.


for example when I'm using a source activity = 10^6 Bq, during 1 second
simulation, the time that separate the events is always approximately 1 mus for
GATE, but in real life within 1s of this activity we can have some events very
close to each other (I mean the time that separate the events can be < ps or
<ns and not always = some micro seconds) ?  it seems that GATE doesn't
reproduce exactly the reality... ???? what do you think please ....


Best regards

Sanae
