//      ---------- G4hEnergyLoss physics process -----------
//                by Laszlo Urban, 30 May 1997
//
// **************************************************************
// It is the first implementation of the NEW UNIFIED ENERGY LOSS PROCESS.
// It calculates the energy loss of charged hadrons.
// **************************************************************
//
// 7/10/98    bug fixes + some cleanup , L.Urban
// 22/10/98   cleanup , L.Urban
// 07/12/98   works for ions as well+ bug corrected, L.Urban
// 02/02/99   several bugs fixed, L.Urban
// 31/03/00   rename to lowenergy as G4hRDEnergyLoss.cc V.Ivanchenko
// 05/11/00   new method to calculate particle ranges
// 10/05/01   V.Ivanchenko Clean up againist Linux compilation with -Wall
// 23/11/01   V.Ivanchenko Move static member-functions from header to source
// 28/10/02   V.Ivanchenko Optimal binning for dE/dx
// 21/01/03   V.Ivanchenko Cut per region
// 23/01/03   V.Ivanchenko Fix in table build

// 31 Jul 2008 MGP     Short term supply of energy loss of hadrons through clone of 
//                     former G4hLowEnergyLoss (with some initial cleaning)
//                     To be replaced by reworked class to deal with condensed/discrete 
//                     issues properly

// 25 Nov 2010 MGP     Added some protections for FPE (mostly division by 0)
//                     The whole energy loss domain would profit from a design iteration

// 20 Jun 2011 MGP     Corrected some compilation warnings. The whole class will be heavily refactored anyway.
