// CHANGE HISTORY
// --------------
//
// 6 October 2003, P R Truscott, QinetiQ Ltd, UK
// Created.
//
// 15 March 2004, P R Truscott, QinetiQ Ltd, UK
// Beta release
//
// 18 January 2005, M H Mendenhall, Vanderbilt University, US
// Pointers to theAbrasionGeometry and products generated by the deexcitation 
// handler deleted to prevent memory leaks.  Also particle change of projectile
// fragment previously not properly defined.
//
// 08 December 2009, P R Truscott, QinetiQ Ltd, Ltd
// ver 1.0
// There was originally a possibility of the minimum impact parameter AFTER
// considering Couloumb repulsion, rm, being too large.  Now if:
//     rm >= fradius * (rP + rT)
// where fradius is currently 0.99, then it is assumed the primary track is
// unchanged.  Additional conditions to escape from while-loop over impact
// parameter: if the loop counter evtcnt reaches 1000, the primary track is
// continued.
// Additional clauses have been included in
//    G4WilsonAbrasionModel::GetNucleonInducedExcitation
// Previously it was possible to get sqrt of negative number as Wilson
// algorithm not properly defined if either:
//    rT > rP && rsq < rTsq - rPsq) or (rP > rT && rsq < rPsq - rTsq)
//
// 12 June 2012, A. Ribon, CERN, Switzerland
// Fixing trivial warning errors of shadowed variables. 
//
// 4 August 2015, A. Ribon, CERN, Switzerland
// Replacing std::exp and std::pow with the faster versions G4Exp and G4Pow.
//
// 7 August 2015, A. Ribon, CERN, Switzerland
// Checking of 'while' loops.
