32// class description:
33//
34// Implementing the calculation of the intersection point with a boundary when
35// PropagationInField is used. Second order locator based on Brent Method
36// for finding the intersection point by means of a 'depth' algorithm in case
37// of slow progress (intersection is not found after 100 trials).

41// 27.10.08 - Tatiana Nikitina: First implementation using
42// LocateIntersectionPoint() from
43// G4PropagatorInField class
