[Gate-users] Materials in Gate

Dear Gate users,

I'm wondering how the ratios are calculated in the file 
"GateMaterials.db" (cf. attached file). Because for example for "Air", 
it is supposed to be 78.084% of nitrogen, 20.946% of oxygen, 0.934% of 
argon etc. But in the file, the values stored does not match with these 
ones. So either there is a mistake or an other calculation, which make 
me wonder if the ratios for the material I want to use (LYSO) are 
correct, and if so how are they calculated.

Thank you for your help,

Estelle Hilaire
