/**
 * @class AliHLTTriggerCosmics
 * HLT trigger component for charged particle multiplicity in the
 * central barrel.
 * 
 * Triggers on charged particle number in a certain pt range and geometrical
 * acceptance
 * 
 * Multiple instances of this component can serve different trigger
 * conditions, i.e. component parameters. The different instances get
 * different names, specified by the '-triggername' component argument.
 * The configuration is loaded from OCDB entries according to the name, see
 * below.
 *
 * <h2>General properties:</h2>
 *
 * Component ID: \b BarrelMultiplicityTrigger                             <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 -->

 * <h2>Optional arguments:</h2>
 * <!-- NOTE: ignore the \li. <i> and </i>: it's just doxygen formatting -->
 *
 * <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 -minpt    <i> pt  </i> <br>
 *      required minimum pt for a trigger
 * \li -maxpt    <i> pt  </i> <br>
 *      required maximum pt for a trigger
 * \li -min-ldca    <i> dca  </i> <br>
 *      minimum longitudinal dca to reference point
 * \li -max-ldca    <i> dca  </i> <br>
 *      maximum longitudinal dca to reference point
 * \li -min-tdca    <i> dca  </i> <br>
 *      minimum transverse dca to reference point
 * \li -max-tdca    <i> dca  </i> <br>
 *      maximum transverse dca to reference point
 * \li -triggername    <i> name  </i> <br>
 *      The name of this specific trigger.
 *
 * By default, configuration is loaded from OCDB, can be overridden by
 * component arguments.
