//      Documentation:
//              Stepping action used in the adjoint simulation. 
//              It is responsible to stop the adjoint tracking phase when:
//                      -a)The adjoint track reaches the external surface.  
//                      -b)The being tracked adjoint dynamic particle get an energy higher than the maximum energy of the external source.
//                      -c)The adjoint track enters the volume delimited by the adjoint source.  
//              In the case a) the info (energy,weight,...) of the adjoint dynamic particle associated to the track
//                       when crossing the external source is registered and in the next event a forward primary is generated. In the other cases b) and c)
//                      The next generated fwd particle is killed before being tracked and the next tracking of an adjoint particle is started directly.
