Description
The ParticleList is nutools is inconvenient using simb::MCParticle* for storing particles. For purposes of the backtracker/photonbacktracker/particleinventory, it would be beneficial to remove dependence on the ParticleList and build an internal implimentation to do that same, but using art::Ptrs from the event. This will be a beneficial step to moving state for the particle inventory to the event for multithread support.

Accepted for now. We will review this idea. In general, changing the underlying representation of a class to depend on art may not be appropriate. It may be more appropriate to change the interface.

Jason, we will arrange to have a discussion with you.
