/** \mainpage FastJet code documentation
 *
 * These pages provide automatically generated documentation for the 
 * FastJet package.
 * 
 * \section useful_classes The most useful classes
 *
 * Many of the facilities of FastJet can be accessed through the three
 * following classes:
 *
 * - PseudoJet: the basic class for holding the 4-momentum of a
 *   particle or a jet.
 *
 * - JetDefinition: the combination of a #JetAlgorithm and its
 *   associated parameters.
 *
 * - ClusterSequence: constructed with a vector of input (PseudoJet)
 *   particles and a JetDefinition, it computes and stores the
 *   information on how the input particles are clustered into jets.
 *
 * \section advanced_classes Selected more advanced classes
 *
 * - ClusterSequenceArea: with the help of an AreaDefinition, provides
 *   jets that also contain information about their area.
 *
 * \section further_info Further information
 *
 * - Selected classes ordered by topics can be found under the <a
 * href="modules.html">modules</a> tab.
 *
 * - The complete list of classes is available under the  <a
 * href="annotated.html">classes</a> tab.
 *
