34// Class description:
35//
36// G4Poisson is the C++ implementation of the CERNLIB GPOISS algorithm
37// for the generation of Poisson distributed random numbers. It has been
38// adapted to invoke HepRandom from CLHEP for the primary engine generators.
39// GPOISS is recognized to be a faster algorithm, providing however a less
40// accurate output, than the algorithm adopted in CLHEP.
