[Gate-users] dosimetry MCNP vs GATE

[Eng. M Pharaon]

Dear Gate Users,
Did any one try to compare between gate and mcnp in energy deposited in  region  and dose by regions ?
i am finding a lot of differences in the deposited energy value - that calculated in MCNP compered with Gate -  when i am using energy higher than 0.3 Mev.
I am using this code please take a look and share with me your experience
