//      ---------------- G4QDiffraction header ----------------
//                 by Mikhail Kossov, Aug 2007.
//  Header of G4QDiffraction class (hadron+A) of the CHIPS Simulation Branch in GEANT4
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// This is a unique CHIPS class for the Hadron-Nuclear Diffractive Interaction Prosesses
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// At present (Aug-07) it is based on the G4QDiffractionRatio class and is not tested.
// The normalization is based on the temporary G4QProtonNuclearCrossSection class
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Short description: This is a process, which describes the diffraction
// excitation of the projectile and the nucleus. On nuclei in addition there
// can be a coherent diffraction process for the projectile, but it is
// comparably small. The most important part of the diffraction is the
// progectile diffraction excitation, as in this interaction proton can lose
// only a small part of its energy and make the shower longer. This is because
// only 1-2 (n) pions are produce in the diffraction escitation, and the mean
// kept energy of the nucleon is (1-n/7)=80%. For kaons the kept energy is much
// smaller (1-n/3.5)=60%, and for pions it is less important (about 40%).
