    and a non-optimizable mass attribute; this optimizer assumes the score
    to be energy in kcal/mol, the xyz coordinates to be in angstroms, and
    the mass to be in AMU (g/mol).

    \note RigidBody particles are not handled properly.

    kernel::Particles without optimized x,y,z and nonoptimized mass are skipped.
