Dear CASToR users,
I have been able to use CASToR reconstruction with a conventional CylindricalPET with nice results. However, I’m having problems with adapt my PETscanner for Cherenkov Photons to a CylindricalPET.
For my PETscanner I was defined previously the attach part as follows:
/gate/systems/PETscanner/level1/attach block
/gate/systems/PETscanner/level2/attach radiator
/gate/systems/PETscanner/level3/attach window
/gate/systems/PETscanner/level4/attach photodetector
/gate/window/attachCrystalSD
The block which is the structure that I repeat in the ring (I have 4 rings) is now my rsector. The problem is that my radiator (PbF2), my window and my photodetector (SiPM) are all inside this main block and I repeat each structure individually inside the block. I c**an’t define in the attach part my window as a submodule because isn’t a box inside the radiator and I c**an’t define my photodetector as a crystal because is**n’t a box inside the window….
I used setDepth4 (also tested with 2) and the reconstruction was**n’t useful….
/gate/systems/cylindricalPET/rsector/attach block
/gate/systems/cylindricalPET/module/attach radiator
/gate/systems/cylindricalPET/module/attach window
/gate/systems/cylindricalPET/module/attach photodetector
/gate/window/attachCrystalSD
/gate/digitizer/Singles/insert opticaladder
/gate/digitizer/Singles/insert readout
/gate/digitizer/Singles/readout/setDepth 4
I also attached the DaniaGeom.geom that was generated by CASToR in the config folder….
I think everything is in order except of course, the size of the PbF2 crystals….
Any help I would really appreciate it….
Kind regards,
