[Gate-users] Proton Therapy Simulation

[Loic Grevillot]

Dear Edward,

I think you should look into the documentation section Radiotherapy
applications from
http://wiki.opengatecollaboration.org/index.php/Users_Guide_V6.2.<http://wiki.opengatecollaboration.org/index.php/Users_Guide_V6.2>
Especially Readout parameters for Radiotherapy applications:
Actors<http://wiki.opengatecollaboration.org/index.php/Users_Guide_V6.2:Readout_parameters_for_Radiotherapy_applications:_Actors>
here
http://wiki.opengatecollaboration.org/index.php/Users_Guide_V6.2:Readout_parameters_for_Radiotherapy_applications:_Actors

Some actors such as
* Electromagnetic (EM) properties
* Track length
* Delta kinetic energy
could be helpful for you.

You can also use the "filter" capabilities for a specific particle.

Hope this helps!

LG
