The Rachel tar archive of version 2.0.4.beta is available on a [http://www.pas.rochester.edu/~hayes/beta_rachel/rachel.2.0.4.beta.tar temporary download site].  This includes an ''extended'' version of Gosia that makes use of file number 99 for amplitude vs. time data [[File:Amplitudes.png|thumb|right|Excitation amplitude as a function of the time-like variable 'w' generated by Gosia via the Rachel GUI.]] and collision function output for optional plotting functions in the GUI.  Except for these two functions, the GUI can be run with the current version of Gosia, 20081208.10.

Version 2.0.5.beta is a bug-fix version that is completely compatible with version 2.0.4.beta and has the same backward-compatibility for session files older than 2.0.4.beta.  Refer to the [[gui_release_notes | release notes]] for the change in this version.

# How to [http://www.pas.rochester.edu/~hayes/beta_rachel/setting_up_calculations.html define experiments, Ge detectors and calculate predicted yields]. This video will show how to define experimental detector setup, data partitions and make instant plots as well.  Use the files fitting_example_levels.txt and fitting_example_matrix.txt included in the example files to quickly set up for this video. (The previous videos show how to load a level scheme and define or load a matrix.)  Note also that the current beta version 2.0.4 ''does'' allow arbitrary particle detector shapes to be defined.  The video narration has not been updated for all of the new detector options, and some prompts will be different from those in the video.
