+ * This cut keeps all the events whose energy release in tracker exceeds the lower
+ * limit of the He band. This will effectively discard only Z = 1 particles.
+ * The selection algorithm is different from that used in #TrkDedxHeCut: here no smart dE/dx computation
+ * is performed, ie., there's no exclusion of high release clusters nor separate check on X and Y views.
+ * This may result in a little contamination from protons.
+ * CUT DEPENDENCIES: TrkPhSinCut for object TrkTrack
