Hello Lorena,
You need to give each of the F18 sources a different name, like you did
with your cold sources. That should solve your problem.
Cheers,

Hi Gaters,
I make the phantom to calculate the image quality for PET: it have 6
spheres/clinders of diferents diameters, 4 hot sources of fluorine-18
and 2 cold sources.
The error that my program returned is the following:
GateSourceMgr.cc (l.258): GateSourceMgr::CheckSourceName : ERROR :
source name already exists
Can you help me?
how many times to define sources F-18? One for each sphere? i.e., Four
sources?
The part of my code referred to particle sources is this:
