// Author: Luciano Pandola
//
// History:
// --------
// 27 Jul 2010   L Pandola    First complete implementation
// 18 Jan 2011   L.Pandola    Stricter check on production of sub-treshold delta-rays. 
//                            Should never happen now
// 01 Feb 2011   L Pandola  Suppress fake energy-violation warning when Auger is active.
//                          Make sure that fluorescence/Auger is generated only if 
//                          above threshold
// 25 May 2011   L Pandola  Renamed (make v2008 as default Penelope)
// 26 Jan 2012   L Pandola  Migration of AtomicDeexcitation to the new interface 
// 09 Mar 2012   L Pandola  Moved the management and calculation of
//                          cross sections to a separate class. Use a different method to 
//                          get normalized shell cross sections
// 07 Oct 2013   L. Pandola Migration to MT      
// 23 Jun 2015   L. Pandola Keep track of the PIXE flag, to avoid double-production of 
//                           atomic de-excitation (bug #1761)

  // Penelope model v2008 to sample the final state following an hard inelastic interaction.
  // It makes use of the Generalised Oscillator Strength (GOS) model from
  //  D. Liljequist, J. Phys. D: Appl. Phys. 16 (1983) 1567
  //
  // The GOS model is used to calculate the individual cross sections for all
  // the atomic oscillators coming in the play, taking into account the three
  // contributions (distant longitudinal collisions, distant transverse collisions and
  // close collisions). Then the target shell and the interaction channel are
  // sampled. Final state of the delta-ray (energy, angle) are generated according
  // to the analytical distributions (dSigma/dW) for the selected interaction
  // channels.
  // For e-, the maximum energy for the delta-ray is initialEnergy/2. (because
  // particles are indistinghusbable), while it is the full initialEnergy for
  // e+.
  // The efficiency of the random sampling algorithm (e.g. for close collisions)
  // decreases when initial and cutoff energy increase (e.g. 87% for 10-keV primary
  // and 1 keV threshold, 99% for 10-MeV primary and 10-keV threshold).
  // Differential cross sections have a different form for e+ and e-.
  //
  // WARNING: The model provides an _average_ description of inelastic collisions.
  // Anyway, the energy spectrum associated to distant excitations of a given
  // atomic shell is approximated as a single resonance. The simulated energy spectra
  // show _unphysical_ narrow peaks at energies that are multiple of the shell
  // resonance energies. The spurious speaks are automatically smoothed out after
  // multiple inelastic collisions.
  //
  // The model determines also the original shell from which the delta-ray is expelled,
  // in order to produce fluorescence de-excitation (from G4DeexcitationManager)
  //
  // Fermi density correction is calculated analytically according to
  //  U. Fano, Ann. Rev. Nucl. Sci. 13 (1963),1
