// Class description:
//
// This class is responsible for the generation of primary adjoint particles
// on the external surface of a user selected volume.
// The particles are generated uniformly on the surface with the angular
// distribution set to a cosine law relative to normal of the surface.
// It is equivalent to the flux going in from the surface if an isotropic flux
// is considered outside. 
// It uses ray tracking technique and can be applied to all kind of convex
// volumes. Using the ray tracking technique the area of the external surface
// is also computed. The area is needed to fix the weight of the primary
// adjoint particle.  
// At the time of the development of this class, generation of points on
// volume surface and computation of surface was limited in Geant4, therefore
// the general ray tracking technique was adopted. The direct method in
// G4VSolid could be now (2009) used instead.
