Mismatch of posion of maximum values in Gamma analysis
Quote from phuong on September 4, 2025, 8:36 amI’m comparing PDD files in the software and noticed a slight mismatch in the reported dmax positions.
For the measured PDD file, dmax is at z = 1.41 cm, but in the curve window it shows 1.38 cm.
In my simulated PDD file, dmax is at 1.50 cm, but the curve window shows 1.49 cm.
Why does this discrepancy occur, and is there a way to correct it to improve the accuracy of the gamma index calculation?
Thank you for your help!

Those interpolations do not degrade the accuracy of gamma analysis.
