General Particle Source in GEANT4

I have created a macro file that should produce a Gaussian (Normal) distribution of gamma particles ranging in energy from 0 to 250 keV as follows:

/control/verbose 0
/run/verbose 0
/tracking/verbose 0
/gps/particle gamma
/gps/ene/type Gauss
/gps/ene/min 0 keV
/gps/ene/max 250 keV
/run/beamOn 10000000

I have used the gps (General Particle Source) command to generate this distribution.
However, when I examine the distribution in Matlab it appears as a mono-energetic distribution. I thought the macro commands executed at the Idle> prompt should override the underlying C++ code, but it appears that they do not.

How could it? Suppose you have something hard coded in the C++. How could the macro possibly override that?
 
Hi
i have a problem related Geant4 source,i wana creat a gamma source of conic shape..any one help or guide me..
kind regards
 

Thread 'Toponium Discovered'

Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...

Thread 'Dirac-Delta from Normalization of Continuous Eigenfunctions'

I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
