Electron cooling processes.

Electrons cool via inverse Compton scattering (ICS), which is handled by the package ics. The full electron cooling calculation, including both ICS and atomic cooling, is done in elec_cooling.

Positrons ultimately annihilate with electrons after first forming positronium: the resulting spectrum is calculated in positronium.
