// 
// Creation date: 24 April 2012 on base of G4MuMinusCaptureAtRest
//
// Modified:  
// 04/23/2013  K.Genser     Fixed a constant in computation of lambda
//                          as suggested by J P Miller/Y Oksuzian;
//                          Optimized and corrected lambda calculation/lookup
// 04/30/2013  K.Genser     Improved GetMuonCaptureRate extended data and lookup 
//                          to take both Z & A into account
//                          Improved GetMuonDecayRate by using Zeff instead of Z
//                          Extracted Zeff into GetMuonZeff
// 10/08/2018  K.Genser     Improved accuracy of the bound decay rate
