Dear users,
I find there may be errors when I simulate Co-60 particle decays.
When I use F-18, Cu-64 and Co-64, radioactive process is right. However, when I set ion as Co-60, there is no radioactive process occurs in linux system.
This forum can help if you follow these guidelines.
As a guess right now, you have a version of Geant that requires setting the /process/had/rdm/thresholdForVeryLongDecayTime 1.0e+60 year in your macro since depending on geant version, this number may default to 1 year. This is long enough for F18, Cu54, and Co64 which have half lives of 109 minutes, 75 nanoseconds, and 300 microseconds, respectively, but not long enough for Co60 with a half life of 5.27 years.
RDecay01 has the physics lists you probably need. It even includes a Co60 macro file example.

Great, my god. Thanks a lot!
