//-------------------------------------------------------------
//      Documentation:
//              This class represents the Manager of an adjoint/reverse MC simulation. 
//              An adjoint run is divided in a serie of alternative adjoint and forward tracking 
//              of adjoint and normal particles.
//
//              Reverse tracking phase:
//              -----------------------
//              An adjoint particle of a given type  (adjoint_e-, adjoint_gamma,...) is first generated on the so called adjoint source
//              with a random energy (1/E distribution) and direction. The adjoint source is the 
//              external surface of a user defined volume or of a user defined sphere. The adjoint
//              source should contain one or several sensitive volumes and should be small 
//              compared to the entire geometry.
//              The user can set the min and max energy of the adjoint source. After its
//              generation the adjoint primary  particle is tracked 
//              bacward in the geometry till a user  defined external surface (spherical or boundary of a volume)
//              or is killed before if it reaches a user defined  upper energy limit that represents
//              the maximum energy of the external source. During the reverse tracking, reverse
//              processes take place where  the adjoint particle being tracked can be either scattered
//              or transformed in another type of adjoint paticle. During the reverse tracking the
//              G4SimulationManager replaces the user defined Primary, Run, ... actions, by its own actions.
//              
//              Forward tracking phase
//              -----------------------
//              When an adjoint particle reaches the external surface its weight,type,  position, 
//              and directions are registered and a  normal primary particle with a type equivalent to the last generated primary adjoint is
//              generated with the same energy, position but opposite direction  and is  tracked normally in the sensitive region as in a fwd MC simulation. 
//              During this forward tracking phase the  
//              event, stacking, stepping, tracking actions defined by the user for its general fwd application are used. By this clear separation between
//              adjoint and fwd tracking phases , the code of the user developed for a fwd simulation should be only slightly modified to adapt it for an adjoint 
//              simulation. Indeed  the computation of the signal is done by the same actions or classes that the one used in the fwd simulation mode.  
// 
//              Modification to brought in a existing G4 application to use the ReverseMC method
//              -------------------------------
//              In order to be able to use the ReverseMC method in his simulation, the user should modify its code as such:
//                      1) Adapt its physics list to use ReverseProcesses for adjoint particles. An example of such physics list is provided in an extended 
//                        example. 
//                      2) Create an instance of    G4AdjointSimManager somewhere in the main code.
//                      3) Modify the analysis part of the code to normalise the signal computed during the fwd phase to the weight of the last adjoint particle
//                       that reaches the external surface. This is done by using the following method of G4AdjointSimManager.
//                                       
//                                       G4int GetIDOfLastAdjParticleReachingExtSource()                                     
//                                       G4ThreeVector GetPositionAtEndOfLastAdjointTrack(){ return last_pos;}
//                                       G4ThreeVector GetDirectionAtEndOfLastAdjointTrack(){ return last_direction;}
//                                       G4double GetEkinAtEndOfLastAdjointTrack(){ return last_ekin;} 
//                                       G4double GetEkinNucAtEndOfLastAdjointTrack(){ return last_ekin_nuc;}
//                                       G4double GetWeightAtEndOfLastAdjointTrack(){return last_weight;}
//                                       G4double GetCosthAtEndOfLastAdjointTrack(){return last_cos_th;}
//                                       G4String GetFwdParticleNameAtEndOfLastAdjointTrack(){return last_fwd_part_name;}
//                                       G4int GetFwdParticlePDGEncodingAtEndOfLastAdjointTrack(){return last_fwd_part_PDGEncoding;}
//                                       G4int GetFwdParticleIndexAtEndOfLastAdjointTrack().
//
//                        In orther to have a code working for both forward and adjoint simulation mode, the extra code needed in user actions for the adjoint
//                        simulation mode can be seperated to the code needed only for the normal forward  simulation by using the following method
//                                   
//                                      G4bool GetAdjointSimMode() that return true if   an adjoint simulation is running and false if not!
//                                
//                        Example of modification in the analysis part of the code:
//                       -------------------------------------------------------------
//                              Let say that in the forward simulation a G4 application computes the energy deposited in a volume.
//                              The user wants to normalise its results for an external isotropic source of e- with differential spectrum given by f(E).
//                              A possible modification of the code where the deposited energy Edep during an event  is registered would be the following  
//                                      
//                              G4AdjointSimManager* theAdjSimManager =    G4AdjointSimManager::GetInstance();  
//                              if (theAdjSimManager->GetAdjointSimMode()) {
//                                      //code of the user that should be consider only for forwrad simulation
//                                      G4double normalised_edep = 0.;
//                                      if (theAdjSimManager->GetFwdParticleNameAtEndOfLastAdjointTrack() == "e-"){
//                                              G4double ekin_prim = theAdjSimManager->GetEkinAtEndOfLastAdjointTrack();
//                                              G4double weight_prim = theAdjSimManager->GetWeightAtEndOfLastAdjointTrack();
//                                              normalised_edep = weight_prim*f(ekin_prim);
//                                      } 
//                                      //then follow the code where normalised_edep is printed, or registered or whatever ....
//                              }       
//                              
//                              else { //code of the user that should be consider only for forward simulation
//                              }
//                              Note that in this example a normalisation to only primary e- with only one spectrum f(E) is considered. The example code could be easily
//                              adapted for a normalisatin to several spectra and several type of primary particles  in the same simulation.
