[Gate-users] Problems with scoring edep and dose in non rectangular geometries and CAD geometries

[Leonie Brodbek]

Dear all,


we try to perform simulations of different detectors with Gate and have some problems when scoring dose and edep in different volumes, perhaps anyone can help us with these issues:


- When we score dose and edep in a gate constructed geometry and in the same CAD geometry we obtain different results with different orders of magnitude (even in rectangular geometries).


- When we score dose and edep in non rectangular geometries we cannot recalculate the dose out of edep and it seems that the dose in Gate is calculated by a geometry surrounding the real geometry but having rectangular corners, e.g. for a sphere of radius 0.5 cm the dose can be recalculated out of edep  by a cube with side length 1 cm.


We would be very thankful for any help!


Kind regards

Leonie Brodbek
