// File name:     G4GoudsmitSaundersonMscModel
//
// Author:        Mihaly Novak / (Omrane Kadri)
//
// Creation date: 20.02.2009
//
// Modifications:
// 04.03.2009 V.Ivanchenko cleanup and format according to Geant4 EM style
// 12.05.2010 O.Kadri: adding Qn1 and Qn12 as private doubles
// 18.05.2015 M. Novak provide PLERIMINARYY version of updated class.
//            All algorithms of the class were revised and updated, new methods added.
//            A new version of Kawrakow-Bielajew Goudsmit-Saunderson MSC model
//            based on the screened Rutherford DCS for elastic scattering of
//            electrons/positrons has been introduced[1,2]. The corresponding MSC
//            angular distributions over a 2D parameter grid have been recomputed
//            and the CDFs are now stored in a variable transformed (smooth) form[2,3]
//            together with the corresponding rational interpolation parameters.
//            These angular distributions are handled by the new
//            G4GoudsmitSaundersonTable class that is responsible to sample if
//            it was no, single, few or multiple scattering case and delivers the
//            angular deflection (i.e. cos(theta) and sin(theta)).
//            Two screening options are provided:
//             - if fgIsUsePWATotalXsecData=TRUE i.e. SetOptionPWAScreening(TRUE)
//               was called before initialisation: screening parameter value A is
//               determined such that the first transport coefficient G1(A)
//               computed according to the screened Rutherford DCS for elastic
//               scattering will reproduce the one computed from the PWA elastic
//               and first transport mean free paths[4].
//             - if fgIsUsePWATotalXsecData=FALSE i.e. default value or
//               SetOptionPWAScreening(FALSE) was called before initialisation:
//               screening parameter value A is computed according to Moliere's
//               formula (by using material dependent parameters \chi_cc2 and b_c
//               precomputed for each material used at initialization in
//               G4GoudsmitSaundersonTable) [3]
//            Elastic and first trasport mean free paths are used consistently.
//            The new version is self-consistent, several times faster, more
//            robust and accurate compared to the earlier version.
//            Spin effects as well as a more accurate energy loss correction and
//            computations of Lewis moments will be implemented later on.
// 02.09.2015 M. Novak: first version of new step limit is provided.
//            fUseSafetyPlus corresponds to Urban fUseSafety (default)
//            fUseDistanceToBoundary corresponds to Urban fUseDistanceToBoundary
//            fUseSafety  corresponds to EGSnrc error-free stepping algorithm
//            Range factor can be significantly higher at each case than in Urban.
// 23.08.2017 M. Novak: added corrections to account spin effects (Mott-correction).
//            It can be activated by setting the fIsMottCorrection flag to be true
//            before initialization using the SetOptionMottCorrection() public method.
//            The fMottCorrection member is responsible to handle pre-computed Mott
//            correction (rejection) functions obtained by numerically computing
//            Goudsmit-Saunderson agnular distributions based on a DCS accounting spin
//            effects and screening corrections. The DCS used to compute the accurate
//            GS angular distributions is: DCS_{cor} = DCS_{SR}x[ DCS_{R}/DCS_{Mott}] where :
//               # DCS_{SR} is the relativistic Screened-Rutherford DCS (first Born approximate
//                 solution of the Klein-Gordon i.e. relativistic Schrodinger equation =>
//                 scattering of spinless e- on exponentially screened Coulomb potential)
//                 note: the default (without using Mott-correction) GS angular distributions
//                 are based on this DCS_{SR} with Moliere's screening parameter!
//               # DCS_{R} is the Rutherford DCS which is the same as above but without
//                 screening
//               # DCS_{Mott} is the Mott DCS i.e. solution of the Dirac equation with a bare
//                 Coulomb potential i.e. scattering of particles with spin (e- or e+) on a
//                 point-like unscreened Coulomb potential
//               # moreover, the screening parameter of the DCS_{cor} was determined such that
//                 the DCS_{cor} with this corrected screening parameter reproduce the first
//                 transport cross sections obtained from the corresponding most accurate DCS
//                 (i.e. from elsepa [4])
//            Unlike the default GS, the Mott-corrected angular distributions are particle type
//            (different for e- and e+ <= the DCS_{Mott} and the screening correction) and target
//            (Z and material) dependent.
// 02.02.2018 M. Novak: implemented CrossSectionPerVolume interface method (used only for testing)
//
// Class description:
//   Kawrakow-Bielajew Goudsmit-Saunderson MSC model based on the screened Rutherford DCS
//   for elastic scattering of e-/e+. Option, to include (Mott) correction (see above), is
//   also available now (SetOptionMottCorrection(true)). An EGSnrc like error-free stepping
//   algorithm (UseSafety) is available beyond the usual Geant4 step limitation algorithms
//   and true to geomerty and geometry to true step length computations that were adopted
//   from the Urban model[5]. The most accurate setting: error-free stepping (UseSafety)
//   with Mott-correction (SetOptionMottCorrection(true)).
