Dear all, 

Thank you for your replies, I really appreciate it! 

Best wishes,

Hi,

just an additional complementary info for cylindrical geometry: you may also use the dose scoring method and simply rescale by pi/4 (if I calculated correctly). Gate assumes it is a rectangular region with side length a and area a^2, whereas a cylinder correctly would have a base of (a/2)^2*pi. If I remember correctly edep you would need to re-scale by 1.6e-7/mass [g/cm^3] (but better check those numbers again).

Best,
Andreas
