[Gate-users] Disable Processes

Hi Dimitrios, thank you for writing back. Dd your simulation take longer with manually defined processes instead of physics list?

Dear Knowland,

I also tried to disable a process after loading a PhysicsList and I
couldn't manage to do it.
A way to remove a process is to define manually the processes you want.
A typical physics list for EM processes is the file physicslist_EM_std.mac
in benchmarks of GATE installation folder (Rayleigh scattering is missing)
but there are more details in usersguide.
I tried it and it worked.

Ragards,
Dimitris Thanasas
