//      Documentation:
//              This class is responsible for the generation of primary adjoint particle on the external surface of a user selected volume.
//              The particle 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 volume. Uisng 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 particle on volume surface and computation of surface was limited in G4, 
//              therfore the general ray tracking technique was adopted. It could be now (2009) that direct method of G4VSolid could be used instead. To be checked!
