Detailed Description

This is the generic class for Material Effects in the tracker material, from which FamosPairProductionSimulator, FamosBremsstrahlungSimulator, FamosEnergyLossSimulator and FamosMultipleScatteringSimulator inherit. It determines the fraction of radiation lengths traversed by the particle in this tracker layer, defines the tracker layer characteristics (hmmm, 100% Silicon, very crude, but what can we do?) and returns a list of new RawParticles if needed.
