// File name:     G4HadronStoppingProcess
//
// Author V.Ivanchenko 21 April 2012 on base of G4MuonMinusCaptureAtRest
//
//
// Class Description:
//
// Base process class for nuclear capture of negatively charged particles
//
// Modifications: 
//  20120928  M. Kelsey -- Add GetMeanLifeTime() here, instead of in base.
//  20121004  K. Genser -- defined two argument constructor with defaults
//  20121016  K. Genser -- Reverting to use one argument c'tor
