45 //
46 // This is a concrete class of G4VPrimaryGenerator. It shoots a particle of given type
47 // into a given direction with either a given kinetic energy or momentum.
48 // The position and time of the primary particle must be set by the corresponding
49 // set methods of G4VPrimaryGenerator base class, otherwise zero will be set.
50 //
51 // The FAQ to this class is for randomizing position/direction/kinetic energy of primary
52 // particle. But, G4ParticleGun does NOT have any way of randomization. Instead, the user's
53 // concrete implementation of G4VUserPrimaryGeneratorAction which transmits G4Event object
54 // to this particle gun can randomize these quantities and set to this particle gun before
55 // invoking GeneratePrimaryVertex() method.
56 // Note that, even if the particle gun shoots more than one particles at one invokation of
57 // GeneratePrimaryVertex() method, all particles have the same physical quantities. If the
58 // user wants to shoot two particles with different momentum, position, etc., invoke
59 // GeneratePrimaryVertex() method twice and set quantities on demand to the particle gun.
