31 // GEANT 4 class header file
32 //
33 //
34 // ------------------------------------------------------------
35 // Implemented for the new scheme 23 Mar. 1998 H.Kurahige
36 //
37 // Class Description
38 // This class is the abstract class for ParticleChange.
39 //-
40 // The ParticleChange class ontains the results after invocation
41 // of a physics process. This includes final states of parent
42 // particle (momentum, energy, etc) and secondary particles generated
43 // by the interaction.
44 // The tracking assumes that all the values of energy and
45 // momentum are in global reference system, therefore all the
46 // needed Lorentz transformations must have been already Done
47 // when filling the data-members of this class.
48 //-
49 //-
50 // This abstract class has following four virtual methods
51 // virtual G4Step* UpdateStepForAtRest(G4Step* Step);
52 // virtual G4Step* UpdateStepForAlongStep(G4Step* Step);
53 // virtual G4Step* UpdateStepForPostStep(G4Step* Step);
54 // virtual void Initialize(const G4Track&);
55 // The UpdateStep methods return the pointer to the G4Step
56 // after updating the given Step information by using final state
57 // information of the track given by a physics process.
58 // User must add methods to keep the final state information
59 // in his derived class as well as implement UpdateStep methods
60 // which he want to use.
61 //-
62 // The Initialize methods is provided to refresh the final
63 // state information and should be called by each process
64 // at the beginning of DoIt.
65 //
