37 // Modifications:
38 // 18-07-06 use newly calculated cross sections (P. Starovoitov)
39 // 21-08-06 update interface to geant4.8.1 (A. Schaelicke)
40 // 15-10-07 introduced a more general framework for cross sections (AS)
41 //
42 //
43 // Class Description:
44 // determine the polarization of the final state
45 // in a Compton scattering process employing the differential
46 // cross section by F.W.Lipps & H.A.Tolhoek
