// History:
// --------
// 08 Jan 2010   L Pandola  First implementation
// 01 Feb 2011   L Pandola  Suppress fake energy-violation warning when Auger
//                          is active.
//                          Make sure that fluorescence/Auger is generated
//                          only if above threshold
// 25 May 2011   L Pandola  Renamed (make v2008 as default Penelope)
// 10 Jun 2011   L Pandola  Migrate atomic deexcitation interface
// 07 Oct 2011   L Pandola  Bug fix (potential violation of energy conservation)
// 27 Sep 2013   L Pandola  Migrate to MT paradigm, only master model manages
//                          tables.
// 02 Oct 2013   L Pandola  Rewrite sampling algorithm of SelectRandomShell()
//                          to improve CPU performances
