//      Description:   
//      Stores the statistical tensor describing the nuclear polarization 
//      (see Alder and Winther, "Electromagnetic Excitation" (1975),
//      Appendix F). 
//
//      V.Ivanchenko left only polarization tensor and access methods
//                   in this class, also add operators
//                   this allows future implemention of polarized 
//                   hadronic models with polarized initial and 
//                   final states
