Hi,
For your first question, yes, it is possible: you have to choose a
dielectric-metal surface between your scintillator and your detector and
define your scintillator as the crystalSD.
For your second question: I don't know this output. In the root file, in
Single-> energy, if I've well understood, it gives the number of photons
generated by each particle (the optical adder sums the photons created
by each Hit of the particle). You may determine your energy resolution
from this spectrum.
I'm beggining with Gate too, so I'm not sure.
Kind regards,
Nicolas HUDIN
