Dear Dimitri,

You want to see...
Scattering of the positron before its annihilation.

I am not sure there is information about scattering of the positron in
the result file.


Anyway, I just want to make sure...
Do you use bigger phantom than source?

The plot, which you attached, is like...you use the same size as the source.

Cordially yours,
MJ
