// File name:     G4GoudsmitSaundersonTable
//
// Author:        Mihaly Novak / (Omrane Kadri)
//
// Creation date: 20.02.2009
//
// Class description:
//   Class to handle multiple scattering angular distributions precomputed by
//   using Kawrakow-Bielajew Goudsmit-Saunderson MSC model based on the screened
//   Rutherford DCS for elastic scattering of electrons/positrons [1,2]. This
//   class is used by G4GoudsmitSaundersonMscModel to sample the angular
//   deflection of electrons/positrons after travelling a given path.
//
// Modifications:
// 04.03.2009 V.Ivanchenko cleanup and format according to Geant4 EM style
// 18.05.2015 M. Novak This class has been completely replaced (only the original
//            class name was kept; class description was also inserted):
//            A new version of Kawrakow-Bielajew Goudsmit-Saunderson MSC model
//            based on the screened Rutherford DCS for elastic scattering of
//            electrons/positrons has been introduced[1,2]. The corresponding MSC
//            angular distributions over a 2D parameter grid have been recomputed
//            and the CDFs are now stored in a variable transformed (smooth) form
//            together with the corresponding rational interpolation parameters.
//            The new version is several times faster, more robust and accurate
//            compared to the earlier version (G4GoudsmitSaundersonMscModel class
//            that use these data has been also completely replaced)
//            [1] A.F.Bielajew, NIMB, 111 (1996) 195-208
//            [2] I.Kawrakow, A.F.Bielajew, NIMB 134(1998) 325-336
// 28.04.2017 M. Novak: the GS angular distributions has been recomputed, the
//            data size has been reduced from 16 MB down to 5 MB by using a new
//            representation, the class has been modified significantly due to
//            this new data representation.
// 23.08.2017 M. Novak: Added funtionality to handle Mott-correction to the
//            base GS angular distributions and some other factors (screening
//            parameter, first and second moments) when Mott-correction is
//            activated in the GS-MSC model.
// 26.10.2025 M. Novak: added the related technical note as the proper reference.
//
