46Geant4 has three virtual classes whose methods the user must override in order
47to implement a simulation. They require the user to define the detector,
48specify the physics to be used, and describe how initial particles are to be
49generated.

83This is an abstract class for constructing particles and processes. The user
84must derive a concrete class from it and implement three virtual methods:
85<UL>
86 <LI><tt>ConstructParticle()</tt> to instantiate each requested particle
87 type,</LI>
88 <LI><tt>ConstructPhysics()</tt> to instantiate the desired physics processes
89 and register each of them with the process managers of the
90 appropriate particles, and </LI>
91 <LI><tt>SetCuts(G4double aValue)</tt> to set a cut value in range for all
92 particles in the particle table, which invokes the rebuilding of the
93 physics table.</LI>
94</UL>
95<p>
96When called, the <tt>Construct()</tt> method of <i>G4VUserPhysicsList</i>
97first invokes <tt>ConstructParticle()</tt> and then
98<tt>ConstructProcess()</tt>. The <tt>ConstructProcess()</tt> method must
99always invoke the <tt>AddTransportation()</tt> method in order to insure
100particle transportation. <tt>AddTransportation()</tt> must never be
101overridden.</p>
102<p>
103<i>G4VUserPhysicsList</i> provides several utility methods for the
104implementation of the above virtual methods. They are presented with comments
105in the class declaration in source listing 6.1.2.</p>
