33// This file is a modified version of SystemOfUnits.h
34// It is provided for checking the overall 'units coherence' of the
35// Geant4 kernel.
36// -------
37// Warning: if you use it, do not forget to recompile the whole Geant4 kernel
38// -------
39// The basic units are those of the International System:
40//
41// meter
42// second
43// kilogram
44// ampere
45// degree kelvin
46// the amount of substance (mole)
47// luminous intensity (candela)
48// radian
49// steradian
50//
51//
52// The SI numerical value of the positron charge is defined here,
53// as it is needed for conversion factor : positron charge = e_SI (coulomb)
54//
55// The others physical constants are defined in the header file :
56// PhysicalConstants.h
