// MODULE:        G4SingleParticleSource.hh

// Version:      1.0
// Date:         5/02/04
// Author:       Fan Lei 
// Organisation: QinetiQ ltd.
// Customer:     ESA/ESTEC
//
//
// CHANGE HISTORY
// --------------
//
// Version 1.0, 05/02/2004, Fan Lei, Created.
//      Based on the G4GeneralParticleSource class in Geant4 v6.0
//
//
// Class Description:
//
// The Single Particle Source is designed to extend the functionality of the
// G4ParticleGun class. It is designed to allow specification of input
// particles in terms of position, direction (or angular) and energy
// distributions.  It is used by the General Particle source class
// and it is derived from G4VPrimaryGenerator.
//
// Note on thread safety:
//    G4SingleParticleSource instances can be shared among threads. GeneratePrimaryVertex
//    is protected via a mutex because underlying generators are not assumed to be thread-safe.
//    Note that internal status of this class is assumed to be changed by master thread (typically
//    via UI commands).
//
//
// MEMBER FUNCTIONS
