10// HEP coherent system of Units
11//
12// This file has been provided to CLHEP by Geant4 (simulation toolkit for HEP).
13// Adapted to TGeo units base by Marko Petric
14//
15// The basic units are :
16// millimeter (millimeter)
17// nanosecond (nanosecond)
18// Mega electron Volt (MeV)
19// positron charge (eplus)
20// degree Kelvin (kelvin)
21// the amount of substance (mole)
22// luminous intensity (candela)
23// radian (radian)
24// steradian (steradian)
25//
26// Below is a non exhaustive list of derived and pratical units
27// (i.e. mostly the SI units).
28// You can add your own units.
29//
30// The SI numerical value of the positron charge is defined here,
31// as it is needed for conversion factor : positron charge = e_SI (coulomb)
32//
33// The others physical constants are defined in the header file :
34// PhysicalConstants.h
35//
36// Authors: M.Maire, S.Giani
37//
38// History:
39//
40// 06.02.96 Created.
41// 28.03.96 Added miscellaneous constants.
42// 05.12.97 E.Tcherniaev: Redefined pascal (to avoid warnings on WinNT)
43// 20.05.98 names: meter, second, gram, radian, degree
44// (from Brian.Lasiuk@yale.edu (STAR)). Added luminous units.
45// 05.08.98 angstrom, picobarn, microsecond, picosecond, petaelectronvolt
46// 01.03.01 parsec
47// 31.01.06 kilogray, milligray, microgray
48// 29.04.08 use PDG 2006 value of e_SI
49// 03.11.08 use PDG 2008 value of e_SI
50// 19.08.15 added liter and its sub units (mma)
51// 12.01.16 added symbols for microsecond (us) and picosecond (ps) (mma)
52// 02.10.17 addopted units from CLHEP 2.3.4.3 and converted to TGeo unit base
