31// Class G4VImportanceAlgorithm
32//
33// Class description:
34//
35// This is an interface used by importance sampling to get the
36// number of copies and weight a mother particle should be split
37// into when crossing a boundary of "importance cells".
38// The interface defines the input to be the ratio of the pre over
39// the post importance and the weight of the mother track.
40// It returns a struct containing the number of copies (including
41// the mother track) to be produced and the weight of each track.
42// A user defined algorithm deriving from this interface may be used
43// by the importance sampling.
