// Description:
//  RhoBooster -
//
//      Utility class to
//      boost any candidate from and to the Center of Mass system
//      of a given beta candidate.
//      The class keeps internally a copy to the beta candidate
//      which defines the moving system,
//      and an association map for book keeping (NO! not implemented !).
//      Genealogy is preserved during the boost : Boosting a mother
//      candidate will recursively boost all its daughters.
//
// Environment:
//  Software developed for the BaBar Detector at the SLAC B-Factory.
