 *  MAUSEventAction is responsible for maintaining the event buffer for the
 *  spill. Several objects hold data buffer for each event. VirtualPlaneManager
 *  holds a buffer of virtual plane hits, tracking holds a buffer of tracks (and
 *  steps), MICEDetectorConstruction holds a buffer of sensitive detector hits.
 *
 *  At the beginning of every event, MAUSEventAction clears each of these
 *  buffers ready for tracking. At the end of every event, MAUSEventAction gets
 *  data from each of these objects and then clears their buffers ready for the
 *  next event.
