[Gate-users] monochromatic X-ray source

Hi,

I would like to simulate CBCT with a monoenergy X-ray source, say 30keV. Is
there an easy way to implement this? I tried to set the following in the
source macro but did not work. Do I have to set up the fluorescent X-ray
for the monochromatic source? Any feedback would be appreciated.
