35// Creation date: 01.05.2005
36//
37// Modifications:
38// 27-07-06 added some test routines (P.Starovoitov)
39// 25-08-06 modified name of test routines (A.Schaelicke)

41// Class Description:
42//
43// Provides Stokesvector representation employed in implementation of
44// polarized processes.
45//
46// aim:
47// - store three components of a stokesvector
48// - distinguish between boson or fermion state (different transformations)
49// - provide unique definition of reference frame (cf. G4PolarizationHelper)
