6// Matt.Dobbs@Cern.CH, September 1999, refer to:
7// M. Dobbs and J.B. Hansen, "The HepMC C++ Monte Carlo Event Record for
8// High Energy Physics", Computer Physics Communications (to be published).
9//
10// particle within an event coming in/out of a vertex
11// particle is the basic building block or unit of the event record
12//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
13//
14// example:
15// GenParticle* p = new GenParticle( FourVector(1,1,1,3), 11, 1 );
16// creates a particle with 4-vector (p,E)=1,1,1,3 - with pdg id 11 (electron)
17// and give this particle status =1.
18//
19// the pointers to end/production vertices can only be set by the
20// vertices themselves - thus to set the production vertex for a particle,
21// you add the particle to that vertex with GenVertex::add_particle_out()
22//
23// We decide not to have a separate 4 vector for the momentum
24// at decay time (which MC++ includes to allow dE/dX losses etc).
25// If you want that, just add a decay vertex with the
26// same particle (modified momentum) going out
27//
