//
//  Model for the adjoint photo electric process.
//  Put a higher limit on the CS to avoid a high rate of Inverse Photo e-effect
//  at low energy. The very high adjoint CS of the reverse photo electric
//  reaction produce a high rate of reverse photo electric reaction in the inner
//  side of a shielding for eaxmple, the correction of this occurrence by weight
//  correction in the StepDoIt method is not statistically sufficient at small
//  energy. The problem is partially solved by setting a higher CS limit and
//  compensating it by an extra weight correction factor. However when coupling
//  it with other reverse processes the reverse photo-electric is still the
//  source of very occasional high weights that decrease the efficiency of the
//  computation. A way to solve this problemn is still needed but is difficult
//  to find as it happens in rare cases but does give a weight that is outside
//  the normal distribution. (Very Tricky!)
