// Class Description:
//
// Intermediate class for hadronic absorption at rest using Bertini
// Physics lists should reference the concrete subclasses for pi-, K-, Sigma-
//
// 20120905  M. Kelsey -- Drop explicit list of "allowed" particles; Bertini
//      can handle anything, or return no-interaction if not.
// 20121017  M. Kelsey -- Use Bertini's IsApplicable to check particle allowed
