//
// Class Description:
//     A G4VBiasingInteractionLaw representing the "interaction" law
//  for a force free flight, ie, a particle which does not interact.
//  It is a limit case for which the non-interaction probability over
//  a segment is always 1, and the effective cross-section always
//  zero.
//     This singular behavior is signaled by the IsSingular()
//  method returning always true.
//

//   Initial version                         Nov. 2013 M. Verderi
