Process: G4PenelopeIonisation

Description:
- This process handles ionization and energy loss by electrons and positrons. It is an implementation of the PENELOPE code in which care is given to the low energy description of electromagnetic interactions, including atomic shell effects, etc. It is valid for incident particle energies from a few hundred eV up to about 1 GeV.
- Note: The Penelope electromagnetic processes should not be used together with "standard" electromagnetic processes such as G4eIonisation, or else unpredictable results may occur. The one exception to this rule is that the standard process G4MultipleScattering may always be used.
