[Gate-users] Dose actors - Edep output

[minlove177 at gmail.com]

Dear all,

I am trying to acquire the energy deposited within a voxel detector (CdTe)  
by an x-ray source.
The source is a mono energetic 120 keV cone beam emitting from the detector  
surface. The physics include LowEnergyPhothElectric/ LowenergyCompton,  
Rayleigh scattering/ ElectronIonisation/MultipleScattering.
I have used only Edep option. From the wiki manual, the unit of Edep is MeV.
However the ouput file by Gate (*-Edep.txt) include various values from 0  
to 1700. If it was unit in MeV, 120 keV mono energy made out 1700 MeV. Is  
it make sense?
Posted below are the lines of code that I have used to set up my dose actor  
Edep.
