// Rough model describing a gamma function distributed radiator of X-ray 
// transition radiation. XTR is considered to flux after radiator!  
// Thicknesses of plates and gas gaps are distributed according to gamma 
// distribution. x are thicknesses of plates or gas gaps:
//
// p(x) = (alpha/<x>)^alpha * x^(alpha-1) * std::exp(-alpha*x/<x>) / G(alpha)
//
// G(alpha) is Euler's gamma function.
// Plates have mean <x> = fPlateThick > 0 and power alpha = fAlphaPlate > 0 :
// Gas gaps have mean <x> = fGasThick > 0 and power alpha = fAlphaGas > 0 :
// We suppose that:
// formation zone ~ mean thickness << absorption length
// for each material and in the range 1-100 keV. This allows us to simplify
// interference effects in radiator stack (GetStackFactor method).
// 
// 
// History:
//
// 03.10.05 V. Grichine, first version
