Detailed Description

Helper class for hit creation.

Helper class that can be employed in the fast simulation models. It allows to deposit energy at given position (G4FastHit), provided it is located within the sensitive detector that derives from G4VFastSimSensitiveDetector base class. An extended example extended/parameterisations/Par03 demonstrates how to use G4FastSimHitMaker to create multiple deposits from the fast simulation model.
