36// Class description:
37//
38// A physics vector which has values of energy-loss, cross-section,
39// and other physics values of a particle in matter in a given
40// range of the energy, momentum, etc. The scale of energy/momentum
41// bins is natural logarithmic.
42//
43// History:
44// 27 Apr. 1999, M.G. Pia: Created, copying from G4PhysicsLogVector
45// 11 Nov. 2000, H.Kurashige : Use STL vector for dataVector and binVector
