36 // Description: The process to kill e- to save CPU

42 // Class description:
43 //
44 // G4ElectronCapture allows to remove unwanted e- from simulation in
45 // order to improve CPU performance. There are two parameters:
46 //
47 // 1) low energy threshold for e- kinetic energy (default 0)
48 // 2) the name of G4Region where process is active
49 //
50 //
51 // If an electron track is killed then energy deposition is added to the step
