// Description: Discrete Process - Generation of Scintillation Photons
// Version:     1.0
// Created:     1998-11-07
// Author:      Peter Gumplinger
// Updated:     2010-10-20 Allow the scintillation yield to be a function
//                         of energy deposited by particle type
//                         Thanks to Zach Hartwig (Department of Nuclear
//                         Science and Engineeering - MIT)
//              2005-07-28 add G4ProcessType to constructor
//              2002-11-21 change to user G4Poisson for small MeanNumPotons
//              2002-11-07 allow for fast and slow scintillation
//              2002-11-05 make use of constant material properties
//              2002-05-16 changed to inherit from VRestDiscreteProcess
//              2002-05-09 changed IsApplicable method
//              1999-10-29 add method and class descriptors
