[Gate-users] pulse adding

[Eunsin Lee]

Dear Users,

I looked at gate internal codes to figure out what Gate actually does for pulse adding..
Gate user's manual says that pulses will be summed up by readout module to produce a single pulse.
Then pulse position will be determined by winner-takes-all.
However, when I looked at GatePulseAdder.cc/hh the position is energy-wighted centroid, which a lot more makes sense to me.
My question is whether the GatePulseAdder.cc is being used in Gate.

Basically I want to get the final pulse position to be a energy-weighted centroid, not winner-takes-all..
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much in advance,
Eunsin
