[Gate-users] PhotoNeutron Production

[narbor]

Dear Mery,

Yes, you can do it with GATE by using (for example) the QGSP_BIC_HP 
physics list.

Photon energy as to be higher than the photonuclear threshold (about 7 
MeV for most of the materials, even lower for some like Berylium).

Be aware that materials in GATE are only defined using the natural 
isotopic composition.
So you cannot select a specific isotope for a given material (this 
problem can affect the neutron production because photo-nuclear 
cross-section depends on isotope definition).

Best regards,

Nicolas
