[Gate-users] Problems with GATE

[Gaens, Michaela]

Hello,

try to add ElectronIonisation to the list of your physics processes. Otherwise the electrons created during the interactions will not deposit any energy in the crystals.

Best regards,
Michaela

> We are two students from Royal institute of technology doing our bachelor project using GATE. We are stuck with the problem that we don't get the another output then 33,7 keV. We have tried to search in the code to find the problem but it doesn't change the output. I think it got something to do with default values. Please help us.
