Dear Chunhu,

It happened because the amount of yttrium in the Gate materials in very
high.
for example for 10% yttrium you have to make change as below:

LYSO:   d=7.105 g/cm3; n=4 ; state=Solid
        +el: name=Lutetium ; f=0.714609801
        +el: name=Yttrium ; f=0.040381125
        +el: name=Silicon; f=0.063520871
        +el: name=Oxygen; f=0.181488203


Regards,
Tahereh
