[Gate-users] Source am-241 how to add?

[Jenny Nilsson]

Dear Michal,

If you are also locking at the energy of the alpha particles, this might be of interest
http://hypernews.slac.stanford.edu/HyperNews/geant4/get/hadronprocess/1415.html

Apparently, the energy of the alpha particles in the radioactive decay are calculated incorrectly. Though, I haven’t simulated Am-241 using the radioactive decay function so I can’t tell if this is true for Am-241 or not. A heads-up, just in case.

Best regards
Jenny Nilsson

Dear Michal,

to use an “ion” source in Gate 7, where the use of “PhysicsList"
is recommended, you need to add the extra instruction for the
radioactive decay as you can see in the following two lines:

# P H Y S I C S

/gate/physics/addPhysicsList emstandard
/gate/physics/addProcess RadioactiveDecay

This is how I succeeded to use radio nuclides of different kind
in the EduGATE/Spectro example.

I hope this helps!

Kind regards,

Uwe Pietrzyk

Hi All,
Does anybody know how to add a point source AM-241 (59keV) in Gate7?
I'll be very thankfull.

​Regards​
