// *********************************************************************
// To execute this macro under ROOT after your simulation ended, 
//   1 - launch ROOT (usually type 'root' at your machine's prompt)
//   2 - type '.X spectrum.C' at the ROOT session prompt
//   3 - OR type directly 'root spectrum.C'
// this will generate an output energy spectrum spectrum.txt, 
// according to selected statistics and distribution
// (energy unit assumed by svalue example: eV)
