 * @class GCTAAeff
 *
 * @brief Abstract base class for the CTA effective area
 *
 * This class implements the abstract base class for the CTA effective area.
 * The effective area is accessed using the following arguments
 *    logE - log10 of true (or measured) energy in TeV
 *    theta - Offset angle of true photon direction in camera system (rad)
 *    phi - Azimuth angle of true photon direction in camera system (rad)
 *    zenith - Zenith angle of pointing in Earth system (rad)
 *    azimuth - Azimuth angle of pointing in Earth system (rad)
 *    etrue - Use true or measured energy
