Detailed Description

A class to hold monopole description as a particle.

Creates GEANT4 particle via G4ParticleDefinition and adds extra member for magnetic charge. Particle properties like spin, parities etc. are fixed by default to some values, even though they might be inconsistent with each other. Nevertheless, since monopoles do not decay and are produced only in the generator, that should not matter.

Constructor.

Parameters

name	Name of the monople particle in GEANT4
