[Gate-users] Trying to find or add code to Materials.xml file to include LYSO

[Philipp Matthies]

Hi Robert,

if you want to update or change materials have a look at the
GateMaterials.db file [1].
In line 224 LYSO is defined, please adjust the density in that same line to
the value provided by your LYSO vendor, or to some more realistic values
like. 7.11 or 7.3 as proposed in the git issue [2].

Cheers,
Philipp
