/*
 * dual-use tool for converting xAOD truth events back to HepMC
 * Principal Authors (responsible for the core conversion algorithm): Josh McFayden and James Catmore
 * Tool Author: Jim Lacey (Carleton University) 
 * ... updated tool interface to be dual-use
 * ... added missing PDF information and requirements to allow running on full sim (remove Geant4 secondaries)
