// Class description:
//
// Integrate the equations of the motion of a particle in a magnetic field
// using 4th Runge-Kutta-Nystrom method with errors estimation 
// (ATL-SOFT-PUB-2009-01)
// Current form can be used only for 'pure' magnetic field.
// Notes: 1) field must be time-independent.
//        2) time is not integrated
