32 // Class description:
33 // Low Energy electromagnetic process, electron energy loss
34 // Further documentation available from http://www.ge.infn.it/geant4/lowE
35 
36 // -------------------------------------------------------------------
37 //
38 // This class is the implementation of the unified Energy Loss process.
39 // It calculates the continuous energy loss for e+/e-.
40 // The following processes give contributions to the continuous
41 // energy loss (by default) :
42 // --- ionisation (= cont.ion.loss + delta ray production)
43 // --- bremsstrahlung (= cont.loss due to soft brems+discrete bremsstrahlung)
44 // more can be added ..........
45 // This class creates static dE/dx and range tables for e+ and e-,
46 // which tables can be used by other processes , too.
47 // G4eLowEnergyLoss is the base class for the processes giving contribution
48 // to the (continuous) energy loss of e+/e- .
49 //
50 // History: first implementation, based on object model of
51 // 2nd December 1995, G.Cosmo
