// \brief Interface to algorithm class for calculating ionization electrons
//        and scintillation photon based on simple microphysics arguments
//        to establish anticorrelation between these two quantities.
//
//        To enable this in simulation, change LArG4Parameters variable
//        in your fhicl file:
//
//        services.LArG4Parameters.IonAndScintCalculator: "Correlated"
//
//        TO DO:
//        [ ] Add fluctuations from Fano factor
//        [ ] Get W_ph = 19.5 eV from somewhere more centralized instead
//            of hard-coding it into this algorithm
//
// \author  W. Foreman, May 2020
// Modified: Adding corrections for low electric field (LArQL model)
// Mar 2021 by L. Paulucci and F. Marinho
