[Gate-users] How to setting photomultiplier in the SPECT?

[Panagiotis Papadimitroulas]

Dear Willie,

Actually in GATE you only simulate the PMT as a geometrical volume (in order to contribute in the scattering).

All the electronics, are simulated in the Digitizer section.  Usually as
 in the benchmark of SPECT, the PMT is simulated as "glass" but it 
depends on your requirements. 

All the photon detections happen in the crystal.

And the electronics are defined in digitizer as I said before. So you 
can define your degitizer according to the user's guide (as detailed you
 need). Hope it helps.
