Description Tom Roberts 2011-08-09 20:16:34 CEST 
Section 2.5 in the Users Guide is titled "How to Specify Physics Processes". It is clearly rather old, and does not mention what is now the best way to do this: via G4PhysListFactory. Ditto for section 5.2 titled "Physics Processes".

IMHO it is MUCH better to use a physics list constructed by experts than to attempt to construct a physics list on one's one, even with guidance from examples. The Users Guide should reflect this.

Hello,

Thank you for pointing out to this problem. It should be addressed for the new release.

Thank you once more. PhysListFactory description was updated for Geant4 9.5 in several places of manuals.
