[Gate-users] "Forbid" command: cold source simulation inside a background hot source

[Peyman Sheikhzadeh]

Hello Nicolas and Sara,I revised your code as follows,  TubeSource2 shouldn't to be used in your code.

/gate/world/daughters/name innerCylinder1
/gate/world/daughters/insert cylinder
/gate/innerCylinder1/placement/setTranslation 0.0 0.0 0.0 cm
/gate/innerCylinder1/geometry/setRmax 1.5 cm
/gate/innerCylinder1/geometry/setHeight 6.0 cm
/gate/innerCylinder1/setMaterial Water
/gate/innerCylinder1/vis/forceWireframe
/gate/innerCylinder1/vis/setColor blue
/gate/innerCylinder1/attachPhantomSD

 Dear ​GATE users,

​On behalf of my colleague, Dr. Sara Zein, I am forwarding you her question below. We would appreciate any help from the GATE community. ​
​We would like to simulate a cylindrical radioactive source having a hollow center without activity. ​We are using the cold source command "Forbid" on the region ​we wish to exclude from ​our source. However the background activity from the larger source still persists. ​Below you ​may​ find ​our​ code.
