// Class Description:
//
// A Class responsible for registring HitsCollection
// during event tracking.
//
// The class is `singleton', with access via
//   G4PersistentHitMan::GetPersistentHitMan.
//
// This class itself is not persistent-capable. 
//

// Member functions:
// =================
//  static G4PersistentHitMan* GetPersistentHitMan();
//  static G4PersistentHitMan* get_PersistentHitManIfExist();
//   Return ptr to singleton instance of the class.
//
//  G4PersistentHitMan();
//  ~G4PersistentHitMan();
//
// Member data:
// ============
// static G4PersistentHitMan* fPersistentHitMan
//   Ptr to the unique instance of class
//
// History:
// 99.11.16 Y.Morita  Initial version
