[Gate-users] Reflective surface not totally reflecting?

[Pedro Correia]

Hi Amy

Maybe is better if you could send the lines of your .mac file, where you define the surfaces, and your Surfaces.xml as well.
I managed to create absolute reflective surfaces in a cylinder, so maybe I can help you if you show the part of your code.

Regards, Pedro

Yet when running a small simulation, it seems that some optical photons tend to end their track in the layer whose surface I had set to be reflective, rather than being reflected off of it and into other volumes in my geometry. Is there something I'm missing in defining the surface?
