Hi Sophie,

which version of Gate are you using?

In version 7.1 I observed the same as you and finally created my own 
physics list in the Geant4 source code. But this is not straight forward 
and I do not recommend it if you do not absolutely need it. I have a 
document with some vague guidelines how to create a new physics list 
without explaining how to change them and if you need them, I can send 
them to you.

Kind regards,
