[Gate-users] setXRayCut

Hi users,

I'm modelling a CZT-based PET system, and I'm trying to turn off the XRay emission using:

/gate/physics/setXRayCut 1 GeV

However, I am still seeing the two characteristic Xrays for CZT (one at 26.7 keV and the other at 31.8 keV):

0  296124   2   0     0     2     0     0     7     0   9.99997291612133611116153e-03  2.671e-02  3.791e+01 -7.841e+01  6.468e-01 -9.886e-01      22     2     0   1    0    0 phot NULL NULL
0  296120   1   0     0     1     0     0    27     0   9.99989105790373769555579e-03  3.181e-02  6.717e+00  2.165e+01  7.257e+01  1.219e+01      22     1     0   2    0    0 phot NULL NULL

In addition, varying the value of the cut (I tried 1 GeV, 1 keV and 0.1 keV) does not change the ASCII output file (using the same random seed).

Is anybody aware of problems with setXRayCut ? I am using GATE v3.1.2

On another subject, is the mailing-list archive still available online ? 

Many thanks

Guillem
