/** @ingroup GenVector
 
Class describing a generic LorentzVector in the 4D space-time,
using the specified coordinate system for the spatial vector part.
The metric used for the LorentzVector is (-,-,-,+).
In the case of LorentzVector we don't distinguish the concepts
of points and displacement vectors as in the 3D case,
since the main use case for 4D Vectors is to describe the kinematics of
relativistic particles. A LorentzVector behaves like a
DisplacementVector in 4D.  The Minkowski components could be viewed as
v and t, or for kinematic 4-vectors, as p and E.
 
ROOT provides specialisations and aliases to them of the ROOT::Math::LorentzVector template:
- ROOT::Math::PtEtaPhiMVector based on pt (rho),eta,phi and M (t) coordinates in double precision
- ROOT::Math::PtEtaPhiEVector based on pt (rho),eta,phi and E (t) coordinates in double precision
- ROOT::Math::PxPyPzMVector based on px,py,pz and M (mass) coordinates in double precision
- ROOT::Math::PxPyPzEVector based on px,py,pz and E (energy) coordinates in double precision
- ROOT::Math::XYZTVector based on x,y,z,t coordinates (cartesian) in double precision (same as PxPyPzEVector)
- ROOT::Math::XYZTVectorF based on x,y,z,t coordinates (cartesian) in float precision (same as PxPyPzEVector but float)
