// Main program to generate charged hadron spectra from photon-initiated
// hard processes, by combining sub-runs with direct or resolved photons
// or by generating all with contributions in a single run.

// In case of photon-photon interactions four different contributions are
// present:              ProcessType:
//  - resolved-resolved  1
//  - resolved-direct    2
//  - direct-resolved    3
//  - direct-direct      4
// Events can be generated either with photon beams or with photons emitted
// from lepton beams.

// In case of photon-proton interaction two contributions are present
//  - resolved
//  - direct
// When the photon is from beam A the relevant contributions are
// set with "Photon:ProcessType" values 1 (resolved) and 3 (direct) as the
// convention follows the photon-photon case above.
// Also lepton->photon + proton can be generated.
