    00006 // This file has been provided to CLHEP by Geant4 (simulation toolkit for HEP).
    00007 //
    00008 // The basic units are :
    00009 //              millimeter              (millimeter)
    00010 //              nanosecond              (nanosecond)
    00011 //              Mega electron Volt      (MeV)
    00012 //              positron charge         (eplus)
    00013 //              degree Kelvin           (kelvin)
    00014 //              the amount of substance (mole)
    00015 //              luminous intensity      (candela)
    00016 //              radian                  (radian)
    00017 //              steradian               (steradian)
    00018 //
    00019 // Below is a non exhaustive list of derived and pratical units
    00020 // (i.e. mostly the SI units).
    00021 // You can add your own units.
    00022 //
    00023 // The SI numerical value of the positron charge is defined here,
    00024 // as it is needed for conversion factor : positron charge = e_SI (coulomb)
    00025 //
    00026 // The others physical constants are defined in the header file :
    00027 //                      PhysicalConstants.h

    00031 // History:
    00032 //
    00033 // 06.02.96   Created.
    00034 // 28.03.96   Added miscellaneous constants.
    00035 // 05.12.97   E.Tcherniaev: Redefined pascal (to avoid warnings on WinNT)
    00036 // 20.05.98   names: meter, second, gram, radian, degree
    00037 //            (from Brian.Lasiuk@yale.edu (STAR)). Added luminous units.
    00038 // 05.08.98   angstrom, picobarn, microsecond, picosecond, petaelectronvolt
    00039 // 01.03.01   parsec
    00040 // 28.04.06   import from CLHEP to GaudiKernel -- HD
    00041 // 11.05.06   Rename pascal to Pa to avoid warnings on Windows - MC
