//  Class description:
//
//    A physics vector which has values of energy-loss, cross-section, 
//    and other physics values of a particle in matter in a given 
//    range of the energy, momentum, etc.
//    This class serves as the base class for a vector having various 
//    energy scale, for example like 'log', 'linear', 'free', etc.

//  History:
//    02 Dec. 1995, G.Cosmo : Structure created based on object model
//    03 Mar. 1996, K.Amako : Implemented the 1st version
//    27 Apr. 1996, K.Amako : Cache mechanism added
//    01 Jul. 1996, K.Amako : Now GetValue not virtual
//    21 Sep. 1996, K.Amako : Added [] and () operators
//    11 Nov. 2000, H.Kurashige : Use STL vector for dataVector and binVector
//    09 Mar. 2001, H.Kurashige : Added G4PhysicsVectorType & Store/Retrieve()
//    02 Apr. 2008, A.Bagulya : Added SplineInterpolation() and SetSpline()
//    11 May  2009, V.Ivanchenko : Added ComputeSecondDerivatives
//    19 Jun. 2009, V.Ivanchenko : Removed hidden bin 
//    22 Dec. 2009  H.Kurashige  : Use pointers to G4PVDataVector
//    04 May. 2010  H.Kurashige  : Use G4PhysicsVectorCache
//    28 May  2010  H.Kurashige  : Stop using  pointers to G4PVDataVector
//    16 Aug. 2011  H.Kurashige  : Add dBin, baseBin and verboseLevel
