Detailed Description

This volume is a hyperbolic tube designed to be used to describe stereo wires of a drift chamber, for example.

The inner and outer surfaces are hyperbolas rotated about the z-axis, while the end surfaces are rings. The user specifies this shape by giving the inner and outer radii (at the center), half length, and stereo angle (in radians). Hype is the same as the GEANT volume of the same name, except that here the stereo angle is given in radians, whereas GEANT gives it in degrees.
