3// HEP coherent system of Units
4//
5// This file has been provided to CLHEP by Geant4 (simulation toolkit for HEP).
6//
7// The basic units are :
8// millimeter (millimeter)
9// nanosecond (nanosecond)
10// Mega electron Volt (MeV)
11// positron charge (eplus)
12// degree Kelvin (kelvin)
13// the amount of substance (mole)
14// luminous intensity (candela)
15// radian (radian)
16// steradian (steradian)
17//
18// Below is a non exhaustive list of derived and pratical units
19// (i.e. mostly the SI units).
20// You can add your own units.
21//
22// The SI numerical value of the positron charge is defined here,
23// as it is needed for conversion factor : positron charge = e_SI (coulomb)
24//
25// The others physical constants are defined in the header file :
26// PhysicalConstants.h
27//
28// Authors: M.Maire, S.Giani
29//
30// History:
31//
32// 06.02.96 Created.
33// 28.03.96 Added miscellaneous constants.
34// 05.12.97 E.Tcherniaev: Redefined pascal (to avoid warnings on WinNT)
35// 20.05.98 names: meter, second, gram, radian, degree
36// (from [email protected] (STAR)). Added luminous units.
37// 05.08.98 angstrom, picobarn, microsecond, picosecond, petaelectronvolt
38// 01.03.01 parsec
39// 31.01.06 kilogray, milligray, microgray
40// 29.04.08 use PDG 2006 value of e_SI
41// 03.11.08 use PDG 2008 value of e_SI
42// 19.08.15 added liter and its sub units (mma)
43// 12.01.16 added symbols for microsecond (us) and picosecond (ps) (mma)
44// 17.07.20 use PDG 2019 value of e_SI
