Description roldan 2003-07-31 05:33:00 CEST 
After debugging:
Problem caused by a low energy electron (62 eV)

In file G4LowEnergyCompton.cc, line 222:
  if (rangeTest->Escape(G4Electron::Electron(),couple,eKineticEnergy,safety))

The problem is: rangetest doesn't return. It goes to abort and the "else" branch
is not executed.

ionisation and bremsstrahlung of e+ and e- shouldd be instaciate in the physics
list. dE/dx table have not been found out because these tables were not
precalculated. The source of the problem is in PhysicsList which is incomplete.

Explanations were done in previous message
Comment 3 Vladimir.Ivantchenko 2004-02-17 07:08:59 CET 
PhysicsList of user requires inclusion of e- ionisation
