Detailed Description

C++ Interface for the Fortran Bhabha scattering generator BHWide.

IMPOTRANT NOTE: In the case of generating UNWEIGHTED events, the user should check in the OUTPUT if the number of OVERWEIGHTED events and/or the fraction of the corresponding cross section is ACCEPTABLE for his/her desired PRECISION. If not, the value of WTMAX has to be adjusted (increased) accordingly (making a histogram of the weight might be helpful).
