// Collects generated cascade data (using Collider::collide() interface)
// and computes the nuclear recoil kinematics needed to balance the event.
//
// 20100909  M. Kelsey -- Inspired by G4CascadeCheckBalance
// 20100909  M. Kelsey -- Move G4IntraNucleiCascader::goodCase() here, add
//              tolerance for "almost zero" excitation energy, add function
//              to manually override excitation energy
// 20100910  M. Kelsey -- Drop getRecoilFragment() in favor of user calling
//              makeRecoilFragment() with returned non-const pointer.  Drop
//              handling of excitons.
// 20100914  M. Kelsey -- Migrate to integer A and Z
// 20100921  M. Kelsey -- Return G4InuclNuclei using "makeRecoilNuclei()".
//              Repurpose "makeRecoilFragment()" to return G4Fragment.
// 20100924  M. Kelsey -- Add raw excitation energy (mass difference) function
// 20110214  M. Kelsey -- Replace "model" with G4InuclParticle::Model enum
// 20110722  M. Kelsey -- For IntraNucleiCascader, take G4CollOut as argument
