Dear GATE users,
I've tried Uwe's suggestion and I keep getting lots of messages saying:
=====================================
G4EventManager::ProcessOneEvent()
=====================================
G4PrimaryTransformer::PrimaryVertex (0(mm),0(mm),0(mm),1.51525e+08(nsec))
1 primaries are passed from G4EventTransformer.
!!!!!!! Now start processing an event !!!!!!!
Track (trackID 1, parentID 0) is processed with stopping code 2
Track (trackID 3, parentID 1) is processed with stopping code 2
Track (trackID 2, parentID 1) is processed with stopping code 2
NULL returned from G4StackManager.
Terminate current event processing.
I also tried Nicolas' suggestion about the physics process but it says
command not found (is it not included on vGATE? that's strange).
Any more suggestions?
Regards,
Débora Salvado
