add a function to compute the number of shower photons for muons
Similarly to electrons, I fit an analytic form to the ratio of the number of photons produced via shower particles over the radiative energy loss. In this case, I chose the functional form: ratio = a*(1-exp(-T/b)) since the ratio seemed to reach a constant value after a certain energy. I then simulated a 10 GeV muon and it appears that the ratio might actually decrease after that, so for higher energies I may have to come up with a different fit function.
