dual energy source #669

Open VSpan7 opened 3 years ago

VSpan7 commented 3 years ago

I want to simulate a dual energy x-ray kVolt source. My thought is to use a collimate source type of source. Do you know anything more appropriate?

Hi @VSpan7, the best place to ask this question is on our subreddit! We try to reserve this space mostly for bugs, and on the reddit page you might also get lucky with more (and faster) feedback from the community. If you don't mind posting there, please include more details like which egs application you're planning to use, maybe the quantity you're looking to score and the physical apparatus.

If you're using egs++ you can have many sources by using a source collection. Depending on what you're modelling, a parallel beam with an angular spread might be more suitable.
