Radioactive Source Modeling

Hello everyone,
I have source energies and it’s probability of radioactive source. Can I model radioactive source using energies and it’s probability ? Any example related for this problem? Thank you.

Hello,
you can use GeneralParticleSource with user defined energy histogram like in this example Geant4 GPS Examples.

The documentation includes a section describing all of the macro commands. If there’s missing information, please let us know.

Thank you very much mkelsey.

The first value is the energy and the second value is its weight, right?

/gps/hist/point energy weight

Dear @kitu.utkarsh ,

please follow the documentation as suggested by @mkelsey. You can find the answer there. The documents should contain all the info you may need. If not… really let us know and we’ll try to improve it.
