[Gate-users] Coincidence Sorting Methods

[Marcin Balcerzyk]

Dear Benjamin.

 

If I remember well there are two aspects of the issue of coincidence
sorting: 

1.       /gate/digitizer/Coincidences/MultiplesPolicy takeAllGoods (and
other values). There is an extensive description in the manual with the
figures.  I think takeAllGoods is the default value.

2.       /gate/digitizer/Coincidences/insert deadtime
/gate/digitizer/Coincidences/deadtime/setDeadTime 1800. ns
/gate/digitizer/Coincidences/deadtime/setMode nonparalysable
If you use deadtime - it can be paralysable or nonparalysable (also applied
to Singles) and refers more to what you asked about. You may define
deadtime, but do not have to.

 

Kind regards

Dear colleagues,

 

I try to dig a bit deeper into the coincidence sorter provided by GATE. To
my understanding, there are two ways of opening coincidence windows: 

- once a Single opens a window, no other single can open a new window as
long as that first window has not been closed. Coincidences happen within
this window.

- each Single opens its own coincidence window, coincidences being possible
within any of these windows.

The GATE User Guide properly explains both methods and indicates that they
have been implemented. However, I do not understand how to select one of
these methods!

 

Could somebody help me with that?

 

Best regards, Benjamin
