hi,
   I recently simulate 6 MV Elekta Precise Linac photon beam for radiotherapy  by Gate , I am not sure to properly  build  the physics process  which I just set photon and electron  Standard EM Physics list as the recommend on website http://www.opengatecollaboration.org/sites/opengatecollaboration.org/files/Physics_List_for_Radiation_Therapy_applications.pdf. 
    I set the electron source character as following :
/gate/source/addSource                mybeam gps
/gate/source/mybeam/gps/particle      e-
/gate/source/mybeam/gps/pos/type      Beam
/gate/source/mybeam/gps/pos/rot1      0 1 0
/gate/source/mybeam/gps/pos/rot2      1 0 0
/gate/source/mybeam/gps/pos/shape     Circle
/gate/source/mybeam/gps/pos/centre    0. 0. 0.6 mm
/gate/source/mybeam/gps/pos/sigma_x   3 mm
/gate/source/mybeam/gps/pos/sigma_y   3 mm 
/gate/source/mybeam/gps/ang/rot1      1 0 0
/gate/source/mybeam/gps/ang/rot2      0 1 0
/gate/source/mybeam/gps/ang/type      beam1d
/gate/source/mybeam/gps/ang/sigma_r   0 deg
/gate/source/mybeam/gps/ene/type      Gauss
/gate/source/mybeam/gps/ene/mono      5.8 MeV
/gate/source/mybeam/gps/ene/sigma     0.074 MeV
/gate/source/mybeam/gps/direction     0 0 -1


and EM Physics list:
gamma:   G4PhotoElectric
              G4ComptonScattering
              G4GammaConversion
              G4RayleighScattering
e- and e+: G4eMultipleScattering, G4eIonisation, G4eBremsstrahlung,G4eplusAnnihilation.

ElectroMagnetic option                       Value
Min Energy                                  100 eV        default
Max Energy                                 10 TeV        default
dE/dx table binning                       220             default = 84
Lambda table binning                    220             default = 84


Are these   parameters proper for simulating 6 MV Elekta Precise Linac photon beam for radiotherapy  by Gate?



Best Wishes,
Bin
