computeEnergyLossRadiative
(const MaterialSlab &slab, int pdg, float m, float qOverP, float q = UnitConstants::e)¶ Compute the mean energy loss due to radiative effects at high energies.
This computes the mean energy loss -dE(x) using an approximative formula. Bremsstrahlung is always included; direct e+e- pair production and photo-nuclear interactions only for muons.
