[Gate-users] Phase space as source - no particle type defined

[Jan Gajewski]

Dear gate users,

I have a problem with using a phase space as a source in the simulations.
It seems that not all particle types are recognised. I am using Gate 9.0
but the same behaviour is for Gate 8.2.  An example below. I am attaching
also the phase space source file and the example can be downloaded from:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/z2enipv7oudy4r2/psActor%20as%20source.zip?dl=0

I have a phase space with particles: neutron, gamma, nu_e, proton, e-, O16,
anti_nu_e. The problem is with O16. When I add a line
/gate/source/phaseSpaceSource/setParticleType        proton
then the simulation is running and all particles are simulated as they are,
instead of O16 which is replaced by proton. Without this command I am
getting an error:
GateSourcePhaseSpace.cc (l.220): No particle type defined in phase space
file.

I found that it is the same with some other elements in the source, as
Nitrogen, Carbon, etc.
