     * propagation logic. The main idea is to predict all collisions between particles
     * and their reflections from the potential wall. After this we select the avatar
     * with the smallest time, propagate all particles to their positions at that time
     * and return the avatar to the INCL kernel @see G4INCL::Kernel.
     *
     * The particle trajectories in this propagation model are straight lines and all
     * particles are assumed to move with constant velocity.
