/**
 * The MEBase class is the base class of all objects
 * representing hard matrix elements in ThePEG. There are three
 * methods which must be overridden by a concrete subclass:<BR>
 *
 * includedDiagrams(tcPDPair) should return a vector of DiagramBase
 * objects describing the diagrams used for this matrix element for
 * the given pair of incoming parton types. These DiagramBases are
 * used to identify the incoming and outgoing partons which can be
 * handled by the process generation scheme, and is also used to
 * cnstruct a corresponding SubProcess object.
 *
 * scale() should return the scale associated with the phase space
 * point set with the last call to setKinematics(...) or
 * generateKinematics(...).
 *
 * me() should return the the matrix element squared using the the
 * type and momentum of the incoming and outgoing partons, previously
 * set by the setKinematics(...) or generateKinematics(...) member
 * functions, accessible through the methods meMomenta() and
 * mePartonData() inherited from LastXCombInfo, and/or from
 * information stored by sub classes. The returned value should be
 * dimensionless suitable scaled by the total invariant mass squared
 * (accessible through the sHat() member function). Any user of this
 * method must make sure that the setKinematics(...) member function
 * has been appropriately called before.
 *
 * colourGeometries() should return a Selector with the possible
 * ColourLines objects weighted by their relative probabilities given
 * the information set by the last call to setKinematics(...) or
 * generateKinematics(...).
 *
 * There are other virtula functions which may be overridden as listed
 * below.

 * defined for MEBase.
