…well (can be invoked now from outside of the G4HepEmTrackingManager)
…can be used to check if they are null or available).
The `PerformNuclear` method can be used to invoke the gamma/electron/positron - nuclear interactions now depending on the `particleID` input parameter value (2/0/1 for gamma/ electron/positron - nuclear interaction). The method is self contained, i.e. everything that is needed to invoke the corresponding `G4HadronInelasticProcess` is done inside the method. The interaction is invoked, the step and track are updated to their post- interaction state, the secondaries are stacked to the secondary track vector of the input step and the energy deposited during the interaction (or due to applying the cut) is returned.

Nuclear (gamma/electron/positron) interactions can be invoked now easily using the
PerformNuclearmethod, even from outside of theG4HepEmTrackingManager, making them available for external users as well.The type of the interaction is determined by the
partileIDinput argument(={2/0/1} --> gamma/electron/positron - nuclear). The correspondingG4HadronInelasticProcessis invoked, the input track and step are updated, the secondaries are stacked to the secondary track vector of the input step and the energy deposited during the interaction (or due to applying the cuts on the secondaries) is returned. The method is self contained, i.e. includes all preparations required to perform the interactions.Additional methods are provided to make the pointers of the gamma/electron/positron - nuclear
G4VProcessavailable. These can be used to check if the corresponding process is available (i.e. notnullptr) before invokingPerformNuclear.
