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 in logarithmic.
42
43// History:
44// 02 Dec. 1995, G.Cosmo : Structure created based on object model
45// 03 Mar. 1996, K.Amako : Implemented the 1st version
46// 27 Apr. 1996, K.Amako : Cache mechanism added
47// 01 Jul. 1996, K.Amako : Hidden bin from the user introduced
48// 26 Sep. 1996, K.Amako : Constructor with only 'bin size' added
49// 11 Nov. 2000, H.Kurashige : Use STL vector for dataVector and binVector
