 *  \author Peter Richardson
 *
 *  The VectorWaveFunction class is designed to store the wavefunction
 *  of a vector in a form suitable for use in helicity amplitude calculations 
 *  of the matrix element using a similar philosophy to the FORTRAN HELAS code.
 *
 *  In addition to storing the vector using the LorentzPolarizationVector class
 *  it inherits from the WaveFunctionBase class to provide storage of the 
 *  momentum and ParticleData for the vector boson.
 *
 *  This class also contains the code which does the actually calculation of the
 *  vector wavefunction.
 *
 *  There are two choices available for the calculation of the wavefunction.
 *  These are set using the VectorPhase enumeration which specifies a default choice.
 *  The first choice, vector_phase, includes a phase factor \f$\exp(\pm i \phi)\f$
 *  for the \f$\pm\f$ helicity states while the second, vector_nophase, does not.
 *
 *  N.B. In our convention 0 is the \f$-1\f$ helicity state and 
 *        1 is the \f$0\f$ helicity state
 *        2 is the \f$+1\f$ helicity state
