// The EventFilter class. 

// The constructor takes the following arguments 
// select = 1 : keep only final particles.
//        = 2 : keep only final visible particles (i.e. not neutrinos).
//        = 3 : keep only final charged particles.
// etaMax (default = 50) : keep only particles with pseudorapidity
//        |eta| < etaMax.
// pTminCharged (default = 0) : keep a charged particle only if
//        its transverse momentum pT < pTminCharged.
// pTminNeutral (default = 0) : keep a neutral particle only if
//        its transverse momentum pT < pTminNeutral.

// Main methods:
// filter( event) takes an event record as input and analyzes it.
// size() returns the number of particles kept.
// index(i) returns the index in the full event of the i'th kept particle. 
// particlePtr(i) returns a pointer to the i'th kept particle. 
// particleRef(i) returns a reference to the i'th kept particle. 
// list() gives a listing of the kept particles only.
