[Gate-users] Maximum Particle Number

[Dimitrios Thanasas]

Dear Tom,

I had this problem too. I solved it by combining time and source activity.
If you want 3600000000 particles you can use 100 ΜΒq activity for 36
seconds (or any other combination).
Comment the line (you don't need it):
#/gate/application/setTotalNumberOfPrimaries 3600000000
to run the simulation.

Best Regards,
Dimitris
