// Class Description:
//
// Represents a free G4ErrorTrajState
// It can be represented by the 5 variables
//     1/p, lambda, phi, y_perp, z_perp
// where lambda and phi are the dip and azimuthal angles related
// to the momentum components in the following way:
//            p_x = p cos(lambda) cos(phi)  ! lambda = 90 - theta
//            p_y = p cos(lambda) sin(phi)
//            p_z = p sin(lambda)
// y_perp and z_perp are the coordinates of the trajectory in a
// local orthonormal reference frame with the x_perp axis along the
// particle direction, the y_perp being parallel to the x-y plane.
//
// This class also takes care of propagating the error associated to 
// the trajectory 

// History:
// - Created:   P. Arce
