[Gate-users] (Source definition vs Physics) and (Singles vs Time information)

[Katrin Schnürle]

Hi Dania,

I am not sure, if you can change  the physics lists for different 
volumes. I guess rather not. But I have different ideas that could maybe 
help you:

- Use cuts for the different particles in the different volumes. So 
maybe you can sort out  the particles that you don't want in your phantom.
- Same direction: use the kill actor to sort out particles that you 
don't want.
- Other idea: split up your simulation in 2 with the use of phase space 
as actor in the first and as source in the second. See here: how to 
separate the phantom and detector tracking - phase space approach:

Good luck!
Katrin
