Property being described by the physics table.

These are named based on accessors in G4VEnergyLossProcess, with one new table type, dedx_process, introduced to disambiguate the tables. In Geant4, the dedx table belonging to the ionization process is actually the sum of the de/dx for all processes that contribute to energy loss for the given particle, while the dedx tables for the remaining processes are the per-process energy loss. Here the tables are named to distinguish the summed energy loss (dedx) from the energy loss for an individual process (dedx_process). The ionization table is really just the dedx_process table for ionization, so it is redundant. The range table is calculated from the summed dedx table.

Enumerator
lambda	Macroscopic cross section.
lambda_prim	Cross section scaled by energy.
dedx	Energy loss summed over processes.
range	Integrated inverse energy loss.
msc_xs	Scaled transport cross section.
