// HEP coherent Physical Constants
// Adapted for ROOT by Marko Petric
//
// This file has been provided by Geant4 (simulation toolkit for HEP).
//
// Below is a non exhaustive list of Physical CONSTANTS,
// computed in the Internal HEP System Of Units.
//
// Most of them are extracted from the Particle Data Book :
//        Phys. Rev. D  volume 50 3-1 (1994) page 1233
//
//
// Author: M.Maire
//
// History:
//
// 23.02.96 Created
// 26.03.96 Added constants for standard conditions of temperature
//          and pressure; also added Gas threshold.
// 29.04.08   use PDG 2006 values
// 03.11.08   use PDG 2008 values
// 02.10.17   addopted constant from CLHEP 2.3.4.3
