Detailed Description

Energy deposition in the active material.

The detector simulation (presently LArG4, which invokes Geant4) propagates particles through the detector in intervals of "steps". In Geant4, a step is normally defined by the smallest of the distance from the current position of the particle to the point where it enters a new volume boundary, the particle undergoes some "interesting" physics event, or the range of the particle due to its energy falls below a given limit.

In LArG4, an additional limit is applied: We force the steps to be small (typically 1/10th the wire spacing in the planes of the TPC) so we can process the energy deposited by each step into electron clusters.

The SimEnergyDeposit class defines what Geant4 truth information for each step is passed to the ionization -> sim::SimChannel conversion, and for the optical-photon -> sim::SimPhoton conversion.
