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

[Sebastien JAN]

Hi Rebecca,

I don't know if you still have this "ion source" trouble.
I just tested that source macro with G4 9.0 and gate 3.1.2 and it works 
(without the G4 8.0.p01 patch line).

I generated a root output file with data and you can check the attached 
file with verbosity applied on 1 F18 event with the decay scheme 
information and secondary productions

Hope this help

Cheers
Sebastien
