See also https://github.com/celeritas-project/celeritas/issues/60 where we discussed the first aspects of element/process cross section calculation. I probably should have read it over more carefully before closing it and opening this guy 🙄
This was closed by mistake 😬 still work to be done.
Closed by #440, thanks @amandalund !
Currently we're using a simplification of allowing only one element per material, so that we don't have to calculate/tabulate/sample elemental cross sections in a given material.
Our CERN collaborators informed us that many of the Geant4 physics models actually use tabulated-by-element cross section data rather than calculating on the fly, so we should be able to build element sampling (in most cases) into the process/model selection kernel.
