[Gate-users] Does anyone know the penelope package for gate?

[张辉]

Dears all;

            Thank you and John very much!, I have sticked Gate4.0.0 for a long time because my cluster is established on it. Now I refered to Gate6.0 following Simon's advice and found the penelope code is available in it.  Thanks a lot.

            Another question, Is there any pdf version of Gate6.0.0's userguide available? I think it is more convient than wiki site. 

            Sorry to bother you again.

 

 

Best regards,

Crono zhang(张辉)

Hi All,

The Penelope processes implemented in G4 are all available in Gate_v6 (but not in previous releases). See the user's guide.

Cheers,
Simon

Dear 张辉,

It is Geant4 which has an implementation of Penelope (version 2001) physics models for low-energy electron, positron and gamma interactions.

To enable this from GATE would require using a physics list based on these models.  Potentially this is already available via user command (GATE users or developers can comment).  Otherwise a simple change/addition in (GATE) source code could allow to use it.

Best regards,
John Apostolakis (Geant4)

Hi everyone:
            This paper(A microCT X-ray head model for spectra generation with Monte Carlo

            Thanks a lot.
