4// HEP coherent system of Units
5//
6// This file has been provided to CLHEP by Geant4 (simulation toolkit for HEP).
7//
8// The basic units are :
9// millimeter (millimeter)
10// nanosecond (nanosecond)
11// Mega electron Volt (MeV)
12// positron charge (eplus)
13// degree Kelvin (kelvin)
14// the amount of substance (mole)
15// luminous intensity (candela)
16// radian (radian)
17// steradian (steradian)
18//
19// Below is a non exhaustive list of derived and practical units
20// (i.e. mostly the SI units).
21// You can add your own units.
22//
23// The SI numerical value of the positron charge is defined here,
24// as it is needed for conversion factor : positron charge = e_SI (coulomb)
25//
26// The others physical constants are defined in the header file :
27//PhysicalConstants.h
28//
29// Authors: M.Maire, S.Giani
30//
31// History:
32//
33// 06.02.96 Created.
34// 28.03.96 Added miscellaneous constants.
35// 05.12.97 E.Tcherniaev: Redefined pascal (to avoid warnings on WinNT)
36// 20.05.98 names: meter, second, gram, radian, degree
37// (from [email protected] (STAR)). Added luminous units.
38// 05.08.98 angstrom, picobarn, microsecond, picosecond, petaelectronvolt
39// 01.03.01 parsec
