// ClassName:   G4LowECapture
//
// Description: The process to kill low-energy particles
//
// Author:      V.Ivanchenko 12 May 2015

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// Class description:
//
// G4LowECapture allows to remove unwanted particles from simulation in 
// order to improve CPU performance. There are two parameters:
//                 
// 1) low energy threshold for kinetic energy (default 0)
// 2) the vector of names of G4Region where process is active
// 
//
// If a track is killed then energy deposition is added to the step 
//
