      \class PersitentParticle
      \brief CORSIKA particle data

      One CORSIKA particle. In contrast to MParticle or TParticleBlockEntry,
      this class retains a copy of the particle data that does not get invalid
      while file is read.
      Use this class if for some reason you want to keep a copy of a particle
      during the particle loop.
