// Author:        Vladimir Ivanchenko

// Creation date: 18.02.2008

// Modifications:

//
// Class Description:
//   Compution on saturation effect, which reduce visible energy 
//   deposition at the step. Default implementation takes into 
//   account Birks effect. Birks coefficients for some materials
//   from G4 database on materials are provided
//
//   This class assumed to be G4ThreadLocal, because it is using 
//   cache value for material
