Dear David,


Thanks for your advice, I actually managed to analyse the Ascii output with python and got everything I wanted.


Best regards,


Paul K.

Dear Paul,

have you tried accessing the componentID, volumeID, pixelID etc. stored in the root tree? These variables should enable you to figure out in which element of your system an event was registered.

Best regards,
David

Dear Users,

I am currently working on a cylindrical PET system with heterostructured scintillators. At first I am designing a one block detector and want to get a proper readout done before creating a whole scanner.
Goal of this is to simulate a couple of materials and calculate their CTRs. My problem is that eventhough I assigned the two different layers as separate sensitive detectors, I only get one root tree for the energy deposited in the singles tree.
I've tried it with one crystal for each layer, or with just one crystal for both layers. I've tried the DoseActor, but the created File seems to have as many entries as I define in the macro with the variable z in "/setResolution x y z", eventhough I dont have that many hits or singles. So I don't think thats a proper way to get the deposited energy for each layer.

There is not much to find about that topic, neither in the mailing list archive nor in the benchmarks.

I appreciate any advice.
Best regards

Paul K.

Here is my macro. I use Gate 9.1 with geant4-10-07. I've installed the precompiled version of Gate and recompiled it, to activate photons and surfaces.
