/** \class TGenPhaseSpace
    \ingroup Physics
 
 Utility class to generate n-body event,
 with constant cross-section (default)
 or with Fermi energy dependence (opt="Fermi").
 The event is generated in the center-of-mass frame,
 but the decay products are finally boosted
 using the betas of the original particle.
 
 The code is based on the GENBOD function (W515 from CERNLIB)
 using the Raubold and Lynch method

Note that Momentum, Energy units are Gev/C, GeV
