// Class Description:
//
// e-/e+ Coulomb scattering model based on numerical Differential Cross Sections
// (DCS) obtained by Dirac Partial Wave Analysis (DPWA) and supplied by the
// G4eDPWAElasticDCS class.
// The model contains the possibility to incorporate the effects of angular
// deflections of sub-threshold ionisation intercations when it's described by
// the condensed history model. Note, this must be inactivated (by setting the
// `isscpcor` input argument of the CTR to false) when ionisation is described
// with a classical, event by event based simulation model instead of usign the
// condensed history approach (otherwise, the corresponding angular defelctions
// will be "double counted").
