      iceCube.uhe.interactions.ElectronBase

public class ElectronBase
extends MonteCarloBase

    An electron once generated by nu-e charged current interaction is subject to
    immediate electromagnetic cascades. The Event class under the current version
    is not able to simulate cascades features themselves. Instead, it simply records
    primary energy of the electron (i.e. primary energy of the emg cascades) and
    its generated location, and put an end to the particle tracing. In order to
    do so, this class provides a hypthetical "electron-to-electron interaction"  
    where all the primary energy is channeled into "produced" electron
    with pathlength of 0. By calling this class right after an electron is generated
    by interactions such as nu-e charged current interactions, all the energy 
    is deposited at the same location and the event sees its end.
