Detailed Description

Medium is an interface class for MCParticle, combining information on the material, field, and geometry.

This information is use in the propagate method of MCParticle. Furthermore mediums provide "hooks" to generate detector responses and do event anaylsis.
Mediums contain mediums and hence form a hierarchical arrangement of the geometry. In particular a CompositeMedium has a list of mediums it contains as well as being in the list of mediums of its parent.
