 ** The factory creates objects of types derived from CbmStsSimSensors
 ** used for the simulation of the STS detector response. Currently,
 ** two sensor types are supported: DssdStereo (double-sided strip sensor
 ** with stereo angles on both sides, read out at the top edge) and
 ** DssdOrtho (double-sided strip sensor with vertical strips on the front
 ** side, read out at the top edge) and horizontal strips on the back side
 ** (read out at the left edge).
