//      History: 
//      1 July 2009 creation by L. Desorgher based on a modification of G4Ions

//  Documentation:
//      Adjoint particles are used in Reverse/Adjoint Monte Carlo simulations. New adjoint 
//      processes act on adjoint particles when they are  tracked backward in the geometry. 
//      The use of adjoint particles instead of "normal" particles during a reverse simulation 
//      is based on an idea of M. Asai.

 // Class Description
 //  This is the base class for all nuclei including pre-defined 
 //  light nuclei such as deuteron, alpha, and proton (Hydrogen) 
 //  All nuclei/ions created on the fly are objects of this class
 //  Atomic number and atomic mass are vaild only for particles derived
 //  from this class.  This class has Excitation Energy in addition to
 //  the normal particle properties.
