0037 // Class description:
0038 //
0039 // G4ElectronCapture allows to remove unwanted e- from simulation in
0040 // order to improve CPU performance. There are two parameters:
0041 //
0042 // 1) low energy threshold for e- kinetic energy (default 0)
0043 // 2) the name of G4Region where process is active
0044 //
0045 //
0046 // If an electron track is killed then energy deposition is added to the step
0047 //
