// --------- G4LowEnergyPolarizedCompton class -----
//
//           by G.Depaola & F.Longo (21 may 2001)
// 24 May 2001 - MGP      Modified to inherit from G4VDiscreteProcess
// 25 May 2001 - MGP      Added protections to avoid crashes
//
// 17 October 2001 - F.Longo  Major revision according to design iteration
//
// 21 February 2002 - F.Longo Revisions with A.Zoglauer and G.Depaola
//                            - better description of parallelism
//                            - system of ref change method improved
//
