Process: G4Decay

Description:
- This process handles the decay of unstable particles. Branching ratios and decay modes are first accessed from the particle class instance, then the final state particles and momenta are generated.

Invokation:

G4Decay* theDecayProcess = new G4Decay();
pmanager ->AddProcess(theDecayProcess);

Valid for particles:
- mu+, mu-, tau+, tau-, pi+, pi-, pi0, K+, K-, K0S, K0L,
- neutron, lambda, sigma+, sigma0, sigma-, xi-, xi0,
- omega-, anti-neutron, anti-lambda, anti-sigma+,
- anti-sigma0, anti-sigma-, anti-xi-, anti-xi0, anti-omega-,
- Note: even though the decay process may be assigned to neutrons, anti-neutrons, mu+ and mu-, these particles are treated as stable by G4Decay. To make a particle unstable (with the correct lifetime) use the method SetPDGStable(false) of the particle.
