[Gate-users] help on Technetium-94 source definition as a High energy gamma.

[Pietrzyk, Uwe]

Hi, Jeffrey Agyapong,

this is an example, how to simulate an Iodine-131 source, with Iodine defined
by Z= 53 and A = 131

For Technetium-94 it has to be
Z=43, A = 94

See below for details.



Kind regards,

Uwe Pietrzyk
