78     * The routine selects events whose value of Zmean obtained from the TrkNuclei Class is in the range [Zmean - sigma*lowerBound, Zmean + sigma*upperBound].
79     * Zmean and sigma are defined respectively as the mean and the standard deviation of the charge distributions obtained using TrkNuclei.
80     * In current implementation, means are taken to be equal to the charge value (Zmean = Z) and sigmas are:
81     *
82     * Z | sigma
83     * -----------
84     * 1 | 0.09
85     * 2 | 0.10
86     * 3 | 0.17
87     * 4 | 0.34
88     * 5 | 0.44
89     * 6 | 0.59
90     *
91     * independent of the method used. The TofNuclei calibrations used are the standard ones (from Wolfgang, see TrkNuclei.cpp).
92     * First of all, the number of layers giving a valid charge information is checked to be greater than minLayers; if it's not so,
93     * the routine will return #TRKNUCLEIZ_TOOFEWLAYERS. Next, it will check if the charge obtained considering the mean dE/dx in the tracker's
94     * layers is in the validity range if the constructor's flag howToCheckMean was set to TRKNUCLEIZ_CHECKMEAN; otherwise, it will check each
95     * single valid charge value (mean for X and Y views) obtained from each layer. In the latter case, it will return #CUTOK only if all
96     * valid layers (ie., those tagged as good for both X and Y in traccker level 2 routines) give a charge inside the bounds, regardless of
97     * the value of minLayers.
98     *
99     * @param event The event to analyze.
100     * @return #CUTOK if the charge from mean dE/dx(if howToCheck == #TRKNUCLEIZ_CHECKMEAN) or all the single layer charges
101     * (if howToCheck == #TRKNUCLEIZ_CHECKSINGLEVALUES) obtained from TrkNuclei are in the range [Z - sigma*lowerBound, Z + sigma*upperBound].
102     * @return #TRKNUCLEIZ_OUTOFBOUNDS if the charge from mean dE/dx(if howToCheck == #TRKNUCLEIZ_CHECKMEAN) or at least one valid single layer
103     * charge (if howToCheck == #TRKNUCLEIZ_CHECKSINGLEVALUES) is out of bounds.
104     * @return #TRKNUCLEIZ_TOOFEWLAYERS if charge information is available for a number of layers lesser than minLayers.
105     * @return #TRKNUCLEIZ_OUTOFBOUNDS if Z < 1 or Z > 6.
