// Class adapted for LArSoft by Ben Jones, MIT 10/10/12
//
// This class is a physics process based on the standard Geant4
// scintillation process.
//
// It has been stripped down and adapted to form the backbone of
// the LArG4 fast optical simulation.  Photons, instead of being
// produced and added to the geant4 particle stack, are logged
// and used to predict the visibility of this step to each PMT in
// the detector.
//
// The photonvisibilityservice looks up the visibility of the relevant
// xyz point, and if a photon is detected at a given PMT, one OnePhoton
// object is logged in the OpDetPhotonTable
//
// At the end of the event, the OpDetPhotonTable is read out
// by LArG4, and detected photons are stored in the event.
//
// This process can be used alongside the standard Cerenkov process,
// which does step geant4 opticalphotons.  Both the fast scintillation
// table and the geant4 sensitive detectors are read out by LArG4 to
// produce a combined SimPhoton collection.
//
