[Gate-users] photons particle filter in DoseActor - KERMA calculation

[Dimitrios Thanasas]

Hi evereyone,

I use particlefilter in DoseActor in order to calculate edep (or dose)
only from photons and then to calculate KERMA (Kinetic Energy Released per
unit MAss).
I added these two lines in DoseActor:
/gate/actor/Dosecalc/addFilter particleFilter
/gate/actor/Dosecalc/particleFilter/addParticle gamma

The result using GATE is about 5% less than the corresponding result using
 other code (but the results of edep from all particles are almost equal
using the two codes - their difference is lower than 0.1%).
I think this difference is based mostly on x-ray photons that are not
calculated using GATE.
Does anyone know, how I can add all photons, not only gamma photons, as
x-ray photons or something like that are not listed in GATE/particle/list?

I also added these two lines before actors
/gate/stepping/SetMode Tracker
/gate/stepping/SetPolicy KeepOnlyPhotons
but doesn't seem to work with actors.

Or if there is a way to calculate KERMA directly?

Thanks in advance,
Dimitris
