[Gate-users] No annihilations in the phantom but just in the source

[Park MinJae]

Dear Dimitri,

In your first post, you mentioned about 'scattering of positron'.
Moreover, because positron is unstable and easy to be annihilated with
plenty of electron in the world, I wonder about the possibility of
'scattering of positron'.
That's why I was confused. :)


Now, I guess...what you want to do is about positron range.

sourcePos{X,Y,Z} does not mean the annihilation position,
but starting position of positron (e+).

That's why you got the plot.


You can just plot 'positron range'.

Moreover, I strongly suggest you to use ROOT.

Cordially yours,
MJ
