//
//-------------------------------------------------------------
//  Documentation:
//      This class represents the Manager of an adjoint/reverse MC simulation. 
//      An adjoint run is divided in a serie of alternative adjoint and forward tracking 
//      of adjoint and normal particles.
//
//      Reverse tracking phase:
//      -----------------------
//      An adjoint particle of a given type  (adjoint_e-, adjoint_gamma,...) is first generated on the so called adjoint source
//      with a random energy (1/E distribution) and direction. The adjoint source is the 
//      external surface of a user defined volume or of a user defined sphere. The adjoint
//      source should contain one or several sensitive volumes and should be small 
//      compared to the entire geometry.
//      The user can set the min and max energy of the adjoint source. After its
//      generation the adjoint primary  particle is tracked 
//      bacward in the geometry till a user  defined external surface (spherical or boundary of a volume)
//      or is killed before if it reaches a user defined  upper energy limit that represents
//      the maximum energy of the external source. During the reverse tracking, reverse
//      processes take place where  the adjoint particle being tracked can be either scattered
//      or transformed in another type of adjoint paticle. During the reverse tracking the
//      G4SimulationManager replaces the user defined Primary, Run, ... actions, by its own actions.
//      
//      Forward tracking phase
//      -----------------------
//      When an adjoint particle reaches the external surface its weight,type,  position, 
//      and directions are registered and a  normal primary particle with a type equivalent to the last generated primary adjoint is
//      generated with the same energy, position but opposite direction  and is  tracked normally in the sensitive region as in a fwd MC simulation. 
//      During this forward tracking phase the  
//      event, stacking, stepping, tracking actions defined by the user for its general fwd application are used. By this clear separation between
//      adjoint and fwd tracking phases , the code of the user developed for a fwd simulation should be only slightly modified to adapt it for an adjoint 
//      simulation. Indeed  the computation of the signal is done by the same actions or classes that the one used in the fwd simulation mode.  
// 
//      Modification to brought in a existing G4 application to use the ReverseMC method
//      -------------------------------
//      In order to be able to use the ReverseMC method in his simulation, the user should modify its code as such:
//          1) Adapt its physics list to use ReverseProcesses for adjoint particles. An example of such physics list is provided in an extended 
//            example. 
//          2) Create an instance of    G4AdjointSimManager somewhere in the main code.
//          3) Modify the analysis part of the code to normalise the signal computed during the fwd phase to the weight of the last adjoint particle
//           that reaches the external surface. This is done by using the following method of G4AdjointSimManager.
//                   
//                   G4int GetIDOfLastAdjParticleReachingExtSource()                     
//                       G4ThreeVector GetPositionAtEndOfLastAdjointTrack(){ return last_pos;}
//                   G4ThreeVector GetDirectionAtEndOfLastAdjointTrack(){ return last_direction;}
//                   G4double GetEkinAtEndOfLastAdjointTrack(){ return last_ekin;} 
//                   G4double GetEkinNucAtEndOfLastAdjointTrack(){ return last_ekin_nuc;}
//                   G4double GetWeightAtEndOfLastAdjointTrack(){return last_weight;}
//                       G4double GetCosthAtEndOfLastAdjointTrack(){return last_cos_th;}
//                       G4String GetFwdParticleNameAtEndOfLastAdjointTrack(){return last_fwd_part_name;}
//                       G4int GetFwdParticlePDGEncodingAtEndOfLastAdjointTrack(){return last_fwd_part_PDGEncoding;}
//                       G4int GetFwdParticleIndexAtEndOfLastAdjointTrack().
//
//            In orther to have a code working for both forward and adjoint simulation mode, the extra code needed in user actions for the adjoint
//            simulation mode can be seperated to the code needed only for the normal forward  simulation by using the following method
//                       
//                  G4bool GetAdjointSimMode() that return true if   an adjoint simulation is running and false if not!
//                
//                Example of modification in the analysis part of the code:
//           -------------------------------------------------------------
//              Let say that in the forward simulation a G4 application computes the energy deposited in a volume.
//              The user wants to normalise its results for an external isotropic source of e- with differential spectrum given by f(E).
//              A possible modification of the code where the deposited energy Edep during an event  is registered would be the following  
//                  
//                  G4AdjointSimManager* theAdjSimManager =    G4AdjointSimManager::GetInstance();  
//              if (theAdjSimManager->GetAdjointSimMode()) {
//                  //code of the user that should be consider only for forwrad simulation
//                  G4double normalised_edep = 0.;
//                  if (theAdjSimManager->GetFwdParticleNameAtEndOfLastAdjointTrack() == "e-"){
//                      G4double ekin_prim = theAdjSimManager->GetEkinAtEndOfLastAdjointTrack();
//                      G4double weight_prim = theAdjSimManager->GetWeightAtEndOfLastAdjointTrack();
//                      normalised_edep = weight_prim*f(ekin_prim);
//                  } 
//                  //then follow the code where normalised_edep is printed, or registered or whatever ....
//              }   
//              
//              else { //code of the user that should be consider only for forward simulation
//              }
//              Note that in this example a normalisation to only primary e- with only one spectrum f(E) is considered. The example code could be easily
//              adapted for a normalisatin to several spectra and several type of primary particles  in the same simulation.
