Cluster convolution for GATE

In her MSc project, Silje Grimstad made a filtered library of the clusters from the summer beamtest in Heidelberg. The result is ~20k Helium clusters stored as a x/y array in a ROOT file:

x_mean	y_mean	size	hit_array	height	width	x_start	y_start	i_event	combined
float	float	int	list<int>	int	int	int	int	int	bool

A random sample of 9 clusters is shown below:

We want to convolute a GATE simulation with clusters from this library. For each hit in the MC data, we pick a random cluster from the library and draw it around the hit position. To do this, use the code at the bottom, with the following result:

The needed cluster database for this is located at GitHib.
