*"Hi Eunsin,
Please use this new class in the folder /source/physics/src to correct
this bug.
We will provide an official patch ASAP.

back-to-back gamma's, which tell us LOR in r-z plane should be simply a
line passing through the center (0,0). In other words Z1+Z2 should be very
close to zero. Below shows actual z position detected for two gammas in
each coincidence events in my simulation output. Looks like something else
is going on...

*I am referring to this file GateBackToBack.cc which was asked to use in
the above mentioned folder. I am using GATE version5 and using back to back
source. I also having the same issue as of Eunsin.*
*My question is that do we have to recompile the GATE after putting this
file. If so, and I did this but I am getting expected compilation error of
GateBackToBack.hh. When I copy GateBackToBack.hh from GATE version6, it
says other header files are missing and it goes on.*
*So how to solve this issue so that I can use GATE version5.*
**
*Thanks and regards*
