Warning - This is auser-oriented, collaborative repository of Gate examples. TheOpenGate collaboration is not responsible of any contents.

PLEASE INSTALL GIT-LFS FIRST: this is required !
This repository contains data (binary files), stored withgit-lfs extension. For most modern Linux distributions there is a standard package for this, e.g. for Ubuntu/Debian do:apt install git-lfs. (If your OS does not have a standard package for git-lfs, then follow the installation instructions on thegit-lfs GitHub page.) With git-lfs successfully installed, clone theGateContrib repository with the commandgit lfs clone https://github.com/OpenGATE/GateContrib.git. If you omit thelfs from thegit clone command then the large binary files may not be downloaded correctly.

Gate, based onGeant4 library, allows to perform various Monte-Carlo simulations in the field ofmedical physics.Gate can be used in numerous ways and for a lot of different applications. This repository containsGate simulation examples, mostly provided by users, in order to help sharing knowledge.

How to contribute ?

• Prepare your example as a pull-request. Clone this repository in your github account, commit your example in your cloned repository, then ask us to integrate your proposal via the "New pull request" button.
• Your simulation must be in a separate folder. You can put it in the folderimaging ordosimetry ormisc.
• Examplemust contains:
  • areadme.md file that describe the example, the authors, the date and Gate version
  • 3 foldersmac/data/output/. The first will contains all macros (.mac files), the second all data files needed as input for the simulations. Results should be written in theoutput/ folder.
  • Simulation should be run by a command such asGate mac/main.mac
• It is also possible to contribute viaanalysis tools. If you developed a killer python script or C++ code useful for Gate simulation, feel free to share it here !
