// The SimulationEnergies class provides a common procedure for
// categorizing the energy deposited in a given G4Step.  However,
// special processing is required for escaped energy.
 
// The issue is that, if a particle's energy is lost by escaping the
// simulation, you don't want to record that energy in the volume it
// escapes; you want to record that energy in the volume in which the
// particle was created.  Neutrinos are a good example of this.
 
// In effect, the SimulationEnergies class has to issue an "interrupt"
// to some other volume than the current G4Step, telling that other
// volume to accumulate the energy of the escaped particle.
 
// This class contains the processing to handle the escaped energy
// processing for volumes in the ZdcG4 portion of the simulation.
