class ROOT::Math::PxPyPzM4D<double>


    Class describing a 4D coordinate system
    or momentum-energy vectors stored as (Px, Py, Pz, M).
    This system is useful to describe ultra-relativistic particles
    (like electrons at LHC) to avoid numerical errors evaluating the mass
    when E >>> m
    The metric used is (-,-,-,+)
    Spacelike particles (M2 < 0) are described with negative mass values,
    but in this case m2 must alwasy be less than P2 to preserve a positive value of E2

 ------ Manipulations -------------

      negate the 4-vector -  Note that the energy cannot be negate (would need an additional data member)
      therefore negate will work only on the spatial components.
      One would need to use negate only with vectors having the energy as data members
