[Gate-users] PhaseSpace actor producing error

Mon Dec 7 16:41:41 CET 2020

Hello,

I am relatively new to GATE and I am facing a problem for which I have  
not found a solution so far. I am using a Phasespace actor to get info  
for the particles scored after entering the attached volume, in a  
simulation which is meant to be composed of several runs (using the  
time slice feature). Although this works for a simulation with only a  
single run, it produces an error when more runs are included, thus the  
simulation is cancelled the output file is not generated. I am using  
Gate 9.0  with Geant4 10.6.2 and ROOT 6.22/02 and the error I get from  
Gate is the following one:

  *** Break *** segmentation violation
