[Gate-users] Deposited energy for Comptons interactions

[Vincent Vandenbussche]

Hi Mahdjoub,

If i'm not wrong, when you look at the deposited energy by the gamma, 
you actually should see something like 0 MeV.
During Compton interaction, a gamma gives part of its energy to an 
electron. This electron deposits his energy in the medium by 
"ElectronIonisation" physics process of GEANT4. I'm using Gate v6.0 but 
I think it's the same process name.
So if you want to know the deposited energy by the Compton, look at the 
deposited energy by the related electron of the Compton interaction 
(thanks to trackID/parentID leaf in ROOT for example...).

Hope this helps you.

Regards,

Vincent
