[VMC] VMC physics list

Hi  Ivana,

I would like to ask you some questions about the physics processes

that are built by the method BuildPhysics of class TVirtualMC.

- If I use VMC with geant3.21, which package for hadronic showers
description is used as default?

Gheisha or Fluka? Which is the maximum momentum for primary particles I
can run?

- Currently different physics lists (for calorimetry, medical and
military application, shielding etc..)

are provided by geant4 depending on the kind of problem one wants to
address.

If I use VMC with geant4, how can I specify a particular list i.e. link

to my program a particular physics list library ?

- I'm interested in doing some simulations of a transition radiation
detector. Can I use

 the VMC for that? I mean, reading the geant3.21 manual it seems to me
that

 processes for transition radiation  are not implemented. Is this right?

 In geant4 a G4TransitionRadiation class exists, but how can I link it
to the VMC application?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards

            Paolo Maestro
