53 * The charge to look for is Z. For each charge, there is an associated distribution of
54 * events, with mean Zmean(Z) and standard deviation sigma(Z). These values will be used to check the events.
55 * If highZ is different from default (-1), the routine will select nuclei with charge in the range
56 * [Zmean(lowZ) - lowerBound*sigma(lowZ), Zmean(highZ) + upperBound*sigma(highZ)]; otherwise, it will select nuclei in the range
57 * [Zmean(lowZ) - lowerBound*sigma(lowZ), Zmean(lowZ) + upperBound*sigma(lowZ)], eg., it will look for a single charge defined by lowZ.

59 * @param cutName The cut's name.
60 * @param lowZ The charge value.
61 * @param highZ The upper charge value.
62 * @param lowerLimit The lower bound (in units of sigma(Z)) of the desired charge range, defined as Zmean - lowerBound*sigma(Z).
63 * @param upperLimit The upper bound (in units of sigma(Z)) of the desired charge range, defined as Zmean + upperBound*sigma(Z).
64 * @param minLayers The minimum required number of layers which give a valid charge information.
65 * @param howToCheck Flag to set the check by mean release or by release in single planes (see #TrkNucleiZ_Check).

81 * The selection procedure depends on the value of highZ. If highZ = -1, the routine will look for a single charge lowZ, eg., for those
82 * events whose value of Zmean(lowZ) obtained from the TrkNuclei class is in the range
83 * [Zmean(lowZ) - sigma(Z)*lowerBound, Zmean(lowZ) + sigma(lowZ)*upperBound]. If instead highZ is grater than lowZ, the routine
84 * will select all the nuclei with charges in the range [lowZ, highZ]; in practice, an event will survive the selection if
85 * its charge as obtained from TrkNuclei is in the range [Zmean(lowZ) - sigma(Z)*lowerBound, Zmean(highZ) + sigma(highZ)*upperBound].
86 *
87 * Zmean and sigma are defined respectively as the mean and the standard deviation of the charge distributions obtained using TrkNuclei.
88 * In current implementation, calibrations for Z=1 and Z=2 for mean dE/dx Vs. rigidity are:
89 *
90 * Z=1 | mean sigma
91 * ------------------------
92 * | 0.992 0.06
93 *
94 *
95 * Z=2 | mean sigma
96 * ------------------------
97 * | 1.99 0.1
98 *
99 * For all other cases (Z>2 or single plane releases or dE/dx Vs. beta), means are taken to be equal to the charge value (Zmean = Z) and sigmas are:
100 *
101 * Z | sigma
102 * -----------
103 * 1 | 0.09
104 * 2 | 0.10
105 * 3 | 0.17
106 * 4 | 0.34
107 * 5 | 0.44
108 * 6 | 0.59
109 *
110 * The TofNuclei calibrations used are the standard ones (from Wolfgang, see TrkNuclei.cpp).
111 * First of all, the number of layers giving a valid charge information is checked to be greater than minLayers; if it's not so,
112 * the routine will return #TRKNUCLEIZ_TOOFEWLAYERS. Next, it will check if the charge obtained considering the mean dE/dx in the tracker's
113 * layers is in the validity range if the constructor's flag howToCheckMean was set to TRKNUCLEIZ_CHECKMEAN; otherwise, it will check each
114 * 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
115 * 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
116 * the value of minLayers.
117 *
118 * @param event The event to analyze.
119 * @return #CUTOK if the charge from mean dE/dx(if howToCheck == #TRKNUCLEIZ_CHECKMEAN) or all the single layer charges
120 * (if howToCheck == #TRKNUCLEIZ_CHECKSINGLEVALUES) obtained from TrkNuclei are in the range [Zmean(lowZ) - sigma(Z)*lowerBound, Zmean(lowZ) + sigma(lowZ)*upperBound]
121 * (for single charge selection) or in the range [Zmean(lowZ) - sigma(Z)*lowerBound, Zmean(highZ) + sigma(highZ)*upperBound] (for charge range selection).
122 * @return #TRKNUCLEIZ_ILLEGALLOWZ if lowZ is less than 1 or greater than 6.
123 * @return #TRKNUCLEIZ_ILLEGALHIGHZ if highZ is less than lowZ and not the default value (-1), or if it is greater than 6.
124 * @return #TRKNUCLEIZ_OUTOFBOUNDS if the charge from mean dE/dx(if howToCheck == #TRKNUCLEIZ_CHECKMEAN) or at least one valid single layer
125 * charge (if howToCheck == #TRKNUCLEIZ_CHECKSINGLEVALUES) is out of bounds.
126 * @return #TRKNUCLEIZ_TOOFEWLAYERS if charge information is available for a number of layers lesser than minLayers.
127 * @return #TRKNUCLEIZ_OUTOFBOUNDS if Z < 1 or Z > 6.
