[Gate-users] Problems with X-ray peak

Hi Leda,

To obtain characteristic X-Ray, you need to activate atom de-excitation.
If you are using GATE 6.2, there is no way to do it easily.
You can use GATE 7.0 which gives an example to observe fluorescence 
(have a look in the examples/example_fluorescence directory)

Bests,

Yann
