//  Continuous processes act on adjoint particles to continuously correct their
//  weight during the adjoint reverse tracking. This process is needed when
//  the adjoint cross sections are not scaled such that the total adjoint cross
//  section matches the total forward cross section. By default the mode where
//  the total adjoint cross section is equal to the total forward cross section
//  is used and therefore this along step weightcorrection factor is 1. However
//  in some cases (some energy ranges) the total forward cross section or the
//  total adjoint cross section can be zero. In this case the along step weight
//  correction is needed and is given by exp(-(Sigma_tot_adj-Sigma_tot_fwd).dx)
