// HEP coherent Physical Constants
//
// This file has been provided by Geant4 (simulation toolkit for HEP).
//
// The basic units are :
// millimeter
// nanosecond
// Mega electron Volt
// positon charge
// degree Kelvin
// amount of substance (mole)
// luminous intensity (candela)
// radian
// steradian
//
// Below is a non exhaustive list of Physical CONSTANTS,
// computed in the Internal HEP System Of Units.
//
// Most of them are extracted from the Particle Data Book :
//        Phys. Rev. D  volume 50 3-1 (1994) page 1233
//
//        ...with a meaningful (?) name ...
//
// You can add your own constants.
//
// Author: M.Maire
//
// History:
//
// 23.02.96 Created
// 26.03.96 Added constants for standard conditions of temperature
//          and pressure; also added Gas threshold.
