Detailed Description

Photoabsorption cross-section base class.

The literature data on photoabsorption cross section are fragmentar and not always consistent. This class hierarchy is designed to gather them in a consistent library. The principle is ordinary: definition of an abstract class which defines the interface available for the rest of program, and definition of derived classes with this or that realization. To the contrary with wcpplib/matter, there is no any global "database" and no formal ban to duplicate these definitions. So these are simple classes determining photoabsorption cross sections for atomic shells, for atoms, and for molecules. Also the atomic relaxation cascades are defined. The system requires some memory for keeping data, and some disk files with input information. It takes some time for initializations, so it is not intended to be used in a loop. In the fortran version of HEED, the equivalent data structure kept in a common block was depending on energy mesh. But in this C++ version it was found possible to avoid this dependence. The data are kept and handled as is, without unnecessary conversions. This improves precision of handling energies near ionization thresholds.
