// Bethe screening functions for the elastic (coherent) scattering:
// Bethe's phi1, phi2 coherent screening functions were computed numerically 
// by using (the universal) atomic form factors computed based on the Thomas-
// Fermi model of the atom (using numerical solution of the Thomas-Fermi 
// screening function instead of Moliere's analytical approximation). The 
// numerical results can be well approximated (better than Butcher & Messel 
// especially near the delta=1 limit) by:
// ## if delta <= 1.4 
//  phi1(delta) = 20.806 - delta*(3.190 - 0.5710*delta)   
//  phi2(delta) = 20.234 - delta*(2.126 - 0.0903*delta)
// ## if delta  > 1.4
//  phi1(delta) = phi2(delta) = 21.0190 - 4.145*ln(delta + 0.958)
// with delta = 136mc^2kZ^{-1/3}/[E(Eg-E)] = 136Z^{-1/3}eps0/[eps(1-eps)] where 
// Eg is the initial photon energy, E is the total energy transferred to one of 
// the e-/e+ pair, eps0 = mc^2/Eg and eps = E/Eg.
