[Gate-users] Variance Reduction Technique on GATE v6...

[Thibault Frisson]

Hi,


> 1) is there those two implemented VRTs on ROOT v6.0 p01?

yes (I think you want to say "GATE v6.0 p01")


> I saw there is the other VTR on CT projector, which is not NM.
>
> I saw Beenhouwer's paper which described two VRTs and enhanced about 5
> times.
> On the Staelens's paper, they are working on the forced detection.
>
> I guess...Using filter could be an option to enhance the speed.
> but it's not primary VRTs, right?

Not sure to understand your question. Filters are used to improve the
efficiency of splitting or russian roulette.


> 2) Is it working on the other process except Bremsstrahlung?

yes, it should work for all processes.


Best regards,

Thibault
