// G4Poisson is the C++ implementation of the CERNLIB GPOISS algorithm
// for the generation of Poisson distributed random numbers. It has been
// adapted to invoke HepRandom from CLHEP for the primary engine generators.
// GPOISS is recognized to be a faster algorithm, providing however a less
// accurate output, than the algorithm adopted in CLHEP.
