Detailed Description

Virtual interface for escaped energy processor classes.

The SimulationEnergies class provides a common procedure for categorizing the energy deposited in a given G4Step. However, different detectors have different scheme for handling one of the categories: 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. The Tile Simulation and the LAr simulation handle this interrupt differently, since they organize sensitive detectors in a different way.

This interface "hides" the different escaped-energy processing required by the different detectors in the simulation.
