// Class description:
// An object of this calss is used in the G4GoudsmitSaundersonTable when Mott-correction
// was required by the user in the G4GoudsmitSaundersonMscModel.
// The class is responsible to handle pre-computed Mott correction (rejection) functions
// obtained as a ratio of GS angular distributions computed based on the Screened-Rutherford
// DCS to GS angular distributions computed based on a more accurate corrected DCS_{cor}.
// The DCS used to compute the accurate Goudsmit-Saunderson angular distributions is [1]:
// DCS_{cor} = DCS_{SR}x[ DCS_{R}/DCS_{Mott}] where :
// # DCS_{SR} is the relativistic Screened-Rutherford DCS (first Born approximate
// solution of the Klein-Gordon i.e. relativistic Schrodinger equation =>
// scattering of spinless e- on exponentially screened Coulomb potential)
// note: the default (without using Mott-correction) GS angular distributions
// are based on this DCS_{SR} with Moliere's screening parameter!
// # DCS_{R} is the Rutherford DCS which is the same as above but without
// screening
// # DCS_{Mott} is the Mott DCS i.e. solution of the Dirac equation with a bare
// Coulomb potential i.e. scattering of particles with spin (e- or e+) on a
// point-like unscreened Coulomb potential [2]
// # moreover, the screening parameter of the DCS_{cor} was determined such that
// the DCS_{cor} with this corrected screening parameter reproduce the first
// transport cross sections obtained from the corresponding most accurate DCS [3].
// Unlike the default GS, the Mott-corrected angular distributions are particle type
// (different for e- and e+ <= the DCS_{Mott} and the screening correction) and target
// (Z and material) dependent.
