// G4TransitionRadiation  -- header file
//
// Class for description of  transition radiation generated
// by  charged particle crossed interface between material 1
// and material 2 (1 -> 2). Transition radiation could be of kind:
// - optical back
// - optical forward
// - X-ray   forward (for relativistic case Tkin/mass >= 10^2)

// History:
// 18.12.97, V. Grichine (Vladimir.Grichine@cern.ch)
// 02.02.00, V.Grichine, new data fEnergy and fVarAngle for double
//                       numerical integration in inherited classes
// 03.06.03, V.Ivanchenko fix compilation warnings
