[Gate-users] gate/physics/optical/enable not working

Thu Aug 4 07:43:53 CEST 2011

Hi there,
thank you very much for your response.
The program in the example_OPTICAL folder has tracking the photon at
scintillator-PMT surface by putting the source at the PMT side.
I want to see the number of photon transfered in pmt by putting the source
in front of scintillator.Is it possible?

Secondly the program is giving an output of energy resolution,however we do
not know the energy of photon rather counting the number. How its possible?

Thanks in advance
