[Gate-users] Gate_v3.1.2 ion source not working-recorrected

[Rebecca Gregory]

I think I must have picked up the wrong file when I tested this before,
because setting the monoenergy doesn't work anymore. So I still have
this problem,
Help,
Becky

Hi again,
I found that I should define the kinetic energy using
gps/monoenergy 0. ev
So problem solved, sorry,
Becky

Hi,

The ion source doesn't seem to be working on Gate version 3.1.2. My
simulation does not give a root or ascii output if I use the ion source.
However I get an output if I change the particle to e+. The source
desriptions are given below.

If I try to implement the patch that worked for version 3.0.0 ; adding 
theIonTable->GetParticle(i)->SetAtomicMass(1);
after line 72. I get an error message at compilation saying that
SetAtomicMass is protected.

For the time being I'll return to using version 3.0.0. Unless anyone can
spot an easy way around this. It would be useful to get this fixed.

Thanks,
Becky
