Added a new actor. The AMDM actor uses the abridged microdosimetric distribution methodology to store a limited amount of physical information without losing accuracy in the RBE calculations nor the possibility of a posteriori RBE recalculations.

The methodology is described in
Parisi A, Beltran CJ, Furutani KM. A methodology to abridge microdosimetric distributions without a significant loss of the spectral information needed for the RBE computation in carbon ion therapy. J Appl Clin Med Phys. 2023; 24:e14049. https://doi-org.ez.srv.meduniwien.ac.at/10.1002/acm2.14049

Its OpenGATE implementation in
Fuchs H, Parisi A, Furutani K M. , Georg D, Beltran C J,
Influence of nozzle configurations on radiobiological effects in carbon ion radiation therapy estimated using GATE/Geant4,
Zeitschrift für Medizinische Physik, Volume 36, Issue 2, 2026,
