                            ----------

This example presently illustrates the following basic concepts, and in
particular (indicated with ***), how to use G4 for optical photon
generation and transport: 

main()
------

 ==> define Random Number Engine and initial seed

G4VUserPhysicsList 
------------------

 ==> define particles; including *** G4OpticalPhoton     ***
     define processes; including *** G4Cerenkov          ***
                                 *** G4Scintillation     ***
                                 *** G4OpAbsorption      ***
                                 *** G4OpRayleigh        ***
                                 *** G4OpBoundaryProcess ***

G4VUserDetectorConstruction 
---------------------------

 ==> define material: Air and Water
     define simple G4box geometry (with translation and rotation)
     *** add G4MaterialPropertiesTable to G4Material       ***
     *** define G4LogicalSurface(s)                        ***
     *** define G4OpticalSurface                           ***
     *** add G4MaterialPropertiesTable to G4OpticalSurface ***

G4VUserPrimaryGeneratorAction
-----------------------------

 ==> Use G4ParticleGun to shoot a charge particle into a Cerenkov radiator
     
G4UserRunAction 
---------------

==> define G4Timer (start/stop)
    set verbose levels

G4UserStackingAction
--------------------

==> show how to count the number of secondary particles in an event
