//      GEANT 4 class header file 
//
// 
// ------------------------------------------------------------
//   Implemented for the new scheme                 23 Mar. 1998  H.Kurahige
//
// Class Description
//  This class is a concrete class for ParticleChange which
//  has all functionality in old scheme.
//-
//  This class contains the results after invocation of a physics process.
//  This includes final states of parent particle (momentum, energy,
//  etc) and secondary particles generated by the interaction.
//  The tracking assumes that all the values of energy and
//  momentum are in global reference system, therefore all the
//  needed Lorentz transformations must have been already Done
//  when filling the data-members of this class.
//-
//  ---------------------------------------------------------------
//  IMPORTANT NOTE: Although the name of the class and methods are
//   "Change", what it stores (and returns in get) are the "FINAL" 
//   values of the Position, Momentum, etc.
// 
//  ------------------------------------------------------------
//  modify AddSecondary methods for "GoodForTracking" flag 
//                                                 8 June 1998 H.Kurashige
//   Add Track weight                              12 Nov. 1998  H.Kurashige
//   Add Get/SetMomentumDirectionChange             6 Feb. 1999 H.Kurashige 
//   Add Get/SetDynamicMass                        5 Oct. 1999 H.Kurashige
//   Add Get/SetDynamicCharge                       5 Oct. 1999 H.Kurashige
//   Rename SetXXX methods to ProposeXXX   DynamicCharge  Oct. 2005 H.Kurashige
//   Add get/ProposeMagneticMoment                  Mar 2007 H.Kurashige
//   Fix treatment of weight                        Mar 2007 H.Kurashige
//   Add  Get/ProposeVelocity                       Apr 2011 H.Kurashige
