3 // HEP coherent Physical Constants
4 //
5 // This file has been provided by Geant4 (simulation toolkit for HEP).
6 //
7 // The basic units are :
8 // millimeter
9 // nanosecond
10 // Mega electron Volt
11 // positon charge
12 // degree Kelvin
13 // amount of substance (mole)
14 // luminous intensity (candela)
15 // radian
16 // steradian
17 //
18 // Below is a non exhaustive list of Physical CONSTANTS,
19 // computed in the Internal HEP System Of Units.
20 //
21 // Most of them are extracted from the Particle Data Book :
22 // Phys. Rev. D volume 50 3-1 (1994) page 1233
23 //
24 // ...with a meaningful (?) name ...
25 //
26 // You can add your own constants.
27 //
28 // Author: M.Maire

30 // History:
31 //
32 // 23.02.96 Created
33 // 26.03.96 Added constants for standard conditions of temperature
34 // and pressure; also added Gas threshold.
35 // 28.04.06 Imported from CLHEP into GaudiKernel -- HD
