It appears that the LYSO material details were incorrect in a pervious version of GATE, see: https://github.com/OpenGATE/GateContrib/blob/e691a3a3600d47b90c0267004d5506ed3be40812/imaging/LUTDavisModel/GateMaterials.db#L223-L233
This PR uses the ammended GATE values.
Also validated against wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutetium-yttrium_oxyorthosilicate

This lead to issues with singles rates and as consequence coincidence rates. This should go someway to fix #18. Validation of count rates will be discussed there.

P.S. LYSO was the only difference between the old and new GateMaterials.db
