Detailed Description

The ReweightBase class is the base class of all objects representing external biases to matrix elements.

These can be used to enhance certain matrix elements or certain phase space regions. They can be used in to ways, either to completely change the matrix element (re-weight), in which case the total cross section will be affected or, when using weighted events in an EventHandler, to pre-weight certain events but leaving the cross section unchanged

There is only one virtual function which must be overridden in derived classes: weight().
