//       -15/01/2007 Creation by  L. Desorgher 
//       -01/11/2009 Some cleaning and adding of documentation  for the first Release in the Geant4 toolkit, L. Desorgher 
//       -04/11/2009 Adding the possibility to use user stepping action,  L. Desorgher
//       -20/11/2009 Correct the stop of adjoint particles tracking when it reenters the adjoint source.

//  Documentation:
//      Stepping action used in the adjoint simulation. 
//      It is responsible to stop the adjoint tracking phase when:
//          -a)The adjoint track reaches the external surface.  
//          -b)The being tracked adjoint dynamic particle get an energy higher than the maximum energy of the external source.
//          -c)The adjoint track enters the volume delimited by the adjoint source.  
//      In the case a) the info (energy,weight,...) of the adjoint dynamic particle associated to the track
//           when crossing the external source is registered and in the next event a forward primary is generated. In the other cases b) and c)
//          The next generated fwd particle is killed before being tracked and the next tracking of an adjoint particle is started directly.
