[Gate-users] No coincidences recorded

[Andrea González]

Dear GATE users,

We are trying to acquire coincidences (ASCII output) using two LGSO crystals and a Ge-68 source in between. We are able to see the singles but, the coincidence file created is empty...
We would appreciate if you could help us with this.
Thank you very much,

Please see the code below:
