/**
 * @class  AliHLTTriggerBarrelGeomMultiplicity
 * HLT trigger component for charged particle multiplicity in the
 * central barrel.
 * 
 * Triggers on charged particle number in a certain geometrical acceptance
 *
 * <h2>General properties:</h2>
 *
 * Component ID: \b BarrelGeomMultiplicityTrigger                             <br>
 * Library: \b libAliHLTTrigger.so                                        <br>
 * Input Data Types:  kAliHLTDataTypeESDObject, kAliHLTDataTypeESDTree
 *                    kAliHLTDataTypeTrack                                <br>
 * Output Data Types: ::kAliHLTAnyDataType                                <br>
 *
 * <h2>Mandatory arguments:</h2>
 * <!-- NOTE: ignore the \li. <i> and </i>: it's just doxygen formatting -->
 * \li -triggername     <i> n   </i> <br>
 *      specifies which configuration object to use for the trigger
 *
 * <h2>Optional arguments:</h2>
 * <!-- NOTE: ignore the \li. <i> and </i>: it's just doxygen formatting -->
 * \li -geomfile     <i> n   </i> <br>
 *      specifies root file containing configuration objects
 *
 * <h2>Configuration:</h2>
 * <!-- NOTE: ignore the \li. <i> and </i>: it's just doxygen formatting -->
 * \li -mintracks     <i> n   </i> <br>
 *      required number of tracks for a trigger
 * \li  -solenoidBz    <i> field  </i> <br>
 *      magnetic field needed if the input is not an ESD object
 *
 * By default, configuration is loaded from OCDB, can be overridden by
 * component arguments.
 *
 * <h2>Default CDB entries:</h2>
 * HLT/ConfigHLT/BarrelGeomMultiplicityTrigger/<triggername>: TObjArray storing the
 * geometries and readout parameters. 
 * HLT/ConfigHLT/Solenoidbz: TObjString -solenoidBz field
 *
 * <h2>Performance:</h2>
 * 
 *
 * <h2>Memory consumption:</h2>
 *
