// Class Description:
|
||
// G4QuasiOpticalPhoton is a non-physical particle definition designed to
|
||
// encapsulate the conditions for generating a burst of optical photons in
|
||
// processes such as scintillation or Cerenkov radiation. Its role is to serve
|
||
// as a compact carrier of optical emission metadata—stored via
|
||
// G4VUserTrackInformation—including the number of photons to generate, parent
|
||
// particle charge, information about the step and track state, and associated
|
||
// material properties. This enables deferred or offloaded optical photon
|
||
// production and propagation, particularly for hybrid or heterogeneous
|
||
// workflows. The term *quasi* (suggested by Daren Sawkey) refers to the
|
||
// particle’s representation as a collective distribution of optical photons-
|
||
// a synthetic construct used to manage secondary particle generation in the
|
||
// Geant4 tracking and optical processes.
