// --------- G4LowEnergyPolarizedCompton class -----
//
//           by G.Depaola & F.Longo (21 may 2001)
//
// 21 May 2001 - MGP      Modified to inherit from G4VDiscreteProcess
//                        Applies same algorithm as LowEnergyCompton
//                        if the incoming photon is not polarised
//                        Temporary protection to avoid crash in the case 
//                        of polarisation || incident photon direction
//
// 17 October 2001 - F.Longo - Revised according to a design iteration
//
// 21 February 2002 - F.Longo Revisions with A.Zoglauer and G.Depaola
//                            - better description of parallelism
//                            - system of ref change method improved
// 22 January  2003 - V.Ivanchenko Cut per region
// 24 April    2003 - V.Ivanchenko Cut per region mfpt
//
//
// ************************************************************
//
// Corrections by Rui Curado da Silva (2000)
// New Implementation by G.Depaola & F.Longo
