[Gate-users] Description of eventID, TrackID and parentID when attach a sensitive detector

[Atiq Ur Rahman]

Dear Users,
I am using a proton beam on a PE phantom and put PET scanner and attach a
sensitive detector with it. I have printed the data column wise. How to
understand parentID and trackID.
In my understanding parentID is the ID of the mother particle causing
current hit. Time is in  increasing sequences some how but some time, it
is smaller then the previous hit.

I am attaching a situation when timestamp of next hit is smaller than
previous time.

Can you explain that with what reference timestamp is generated in Gate?
Regards
Atiq
