[Gate-users] Quadrupoles and dipoles in GATE

[Erik Almhagen]

Hello

I am a new GATE user, predominantly interested in its radiotherapy
applications. My longer term goals are to simulate dose distributions using
CT-images, especially with an eye to paediatric patients. Before all that I
want to implement a beamline/nozzle. In the 7.0 User's guide, it says:

"A magnetic field can be defined. It will be attached and thus active in
the whole world volume. It is currently not possible to confine the field
to another volume."

Since I want to model quadrupoles and dipoles, I do not want to have a
homogeneous, world-wide magnetic field, but rather a number of fields
confined to certain volumes.  Am I perhaps looking in the wrong place, or
is that not possible to model at the moment in GATE?

If it is not possible at the moment, is there anyone with plans to
implement it?

With regards
