    /* Computes the gamma distribution parameters describing the longitudinal
     * profile of the photons generated from an electromagnetic shower.
     *
     * From the PDG "Passage of Particles" section 32.5:
     *
     * "The mean longitudinal profile of the energy deposition in an
     * electromagnetic cascade is reasonably well described by a gamma
     * distribution."
     *
     * Here we use a slightly different form of the gamma distribution:
     *
     *     f(x) = x**(a-1)*exp(-x/b)/(Gamma(a)*b**a)
     *
     * I determined the b parameter by simulating high energy electrons using
     * RAT-PAC and determined that it's roughly equal to the radiation length.
     * To calculate the a parameter we use the formula from the PDG, i.e.
     *
     *     tmax = (a-1)/b = ln(E/E_C) - 0.5
     *
     * Therefore, we calculate a as:
     *
     *     a = tmax*b+1.
     *
     * `T` should be in units of MeV.
     *
     * Example:
     *
     *     double a, b;
     *     electron_get_position_distribution_parameters(1000.0, &a, &b);
     *     double pdf = gamma_pdf(x, a, b);
     *
