[Gate-users] No fluorescence in v6.1 ??

[Marios Myronakis]

Hi all,

I just installed Gate v6.1 and tried to run a simple simulation with low
energy physics in to observe fluorescence. However the command below
produced a warning of 'Unknown process'

/gate/physics/addProcess LowEnergyPhotoElectric
 <!> *** WARNING *** <!>  Unknown process: LowEnergyPhotoElectric

I then used this command: /gate/physics/addProcess PhotoElectric with
the Livermore model but no fluorescence was apparent in the output
spectrum (as expected).

So am I doing something wrong with the physics? My full physics list is
below:

/gate/physics/addProcess PhotoElectric gamma
/gate/physics/processes/PhotoElectric/setModel LivermoreModel

/gate/physics/addProcess Compton gamma
/gate/physics/processes/Compton/setModel LivermoreModel

/gate/physics/addProcess RayleighScattering gamma
/gate/physics/processes/RayleighScattering/setModel LivermoreModel

/gate/physics/addProcess ElectronIonisation e-
/gate/physics/processes/ElectronIonisation/setModel LivermoreModel  e-

/gate/physics/addProcess Bremsstrahlung e-
/gate/physics/processes/Bremsstrahlung/setModel LivermoreModel  e-

/gate/physics/addProcess eMultipleScattering e-

/gate/physics/processList Enabled
/gate/physics/processList Initialized

Any help is appreciated!

Regards,
Marios
