//      ---------------- G4QCoherentChargeExchange class -----------------
//                 by Mikhail Kossov, December 2003.
// G4QCoherentChargeExchange class of the CHIPS Simulation Branch in GEANT4
// ---------------------------------------------------------------
// ****************************************************************************************
// ********** This CLASS is temporary moved from the photolepton_hadron directory *********
// ****************************************************************************************
// Short description: This class resolves an ambiguity in the definition of the
// "inelastic" cross section. As it was shown in Ph.D.Thesis (M.Kosov,ITEP,1979)
// it is more reasonable to subdivide the total cross-section in the coherent &
// incoherent parts, but the measuring method for the "inelastic" cross-sections
// consideres the lack of the projectile within the narrow forward solid angle
// with the consequent extrapolation of these partial cross-sections, corresponding
// to the particular solid angle, to the zero solid angle. The low angle region
// is shadowed by the elastic (coherent) scattering. BUT the coherent charge
// exchange (e.g. conversion p->n) is included by this procedure as a constant term
// in the extrapolation, so the "inelastic" cross-section differes from the
// incoherent cross-section by the value of the coherent charge exchange cross
// section. Fortunately, this cross-sectoion drops ruther fast with energy increasing.
// All Geant4 inelastic hadronic models (including CHIPS) simulate the incoherent
// reactions. So the incoherent (including quasielastic) cross-section must be used
// instead of the inelastic cross-section. For that the "inelastic" cross-section
// must be reduced by the value of the coherent charge-exchange cross-section, which
// is estimated (it must be tuned!) in this CHIPS class. The angular distribution
// is made (at present) identical to the corresponding coherent-elastic scattering
