Detailed Description
The class tracking_leapfrog_straight::Tracking inherits from tracking_line::Tracking and adds a (two-step) Leap-Frog algorithms with two halve-steps and magnetic deflection.
The two halve steps are implemented as two straight explicit tracking_line::Trackings and all geometry intersections are, thus, based on those two straight line elements.
As a precaution for numerical instability, the steplength is limited to correspond to a straight line distance to the next volume intersection. In typical situations this leads to about (at least) one full leap-frog step to the next volume boundary.

- Parameters
-
firstFraction fraction of first leap-frog halve step relative to full linear step to next volume boundary. This should not be less than 0.5, otherwise you risk that particles will never travel from one volume to the next one. A crossing must be possible (even likely). However, if firstFraction is too big (~1) the resulting calculated numerical error will be largest.
