// Class G4GeometryCell
//
// Class description:
//
// This class is usde by scoring and importance sampling.
// It serves to address a "cell". A "cell" is somewhat
// related to a touchable in Geant4. It is identified by a reference
// to a G4VPhysicalVolume and a number (replica number).
// Only simple replicas are supported.
