/// \class AliMUONVTrackReconstructor
/// Virtual MUON track reconstructor in ALICE (class renamed from AliMUONEventReconstructor)
///
/// This class contains as data a pointer to the array of reconstructed tracks
///
/// It contains as methods, among others:
/// * EventReconstruct to build the muon tracks
/// * EventReconstructTrigger to build the trigger tracks
/// * ValidateTracksWithTrigger to match tracker/trigger tracks
///
/// Several options and adjustable parameters are available for both KALMAN and ORIGINAL
/// tracking algorithms. They can be changed through the AliMUONRecoParam object
/// set in the reconstruction macro or read from the CDB
/// (see methods in AliMUONRecoParam.h file for details)
///
/// Main parameters and options are:
/// - *fgkSigmaToCutForTracking* : quality cut used to select new clusters to be
///   attached to the track candidate and to select good tracks.
/// - *fgkMakeTrackCandidatesFast* : if this flag is set to 'true', the track candidates
///   are made assuming linear propagation between stations 4 and 5.
/// - *fgkTrackAllTracks* : according to the value of this flag, in case that several
///   new clusters pass the quality cut, either we consider all the possibilities
///   (duplicating tracks) or we attach only the best cluster.
/// - *fgkRecoverTracks* : if this flag is set to 'true', we try to recover the tracks
///   lost during the tracking by removing the worst of the 2 clusters attached in the
///   previous station.
/// - *fgkImproveTracks* : if this flag is set to 'true', we try to improve the quality
///   of the tracks at the end of the tracking by removing clusters that do not pass
///   new quality cut (the track is removed is it does not contain enough cluster anymore).
/// - *fgkComplementTracks* : if this flag is set to 'true', we try to improve the quality
///   of the tracks at the end of the tracking by adding potentially missing clusters
///   (we may have 2 clusters in the same chamber because of the overlapping of detection
///   elements, which is not handle by the tracking algorithm).
/// - *fgkSigmaToCutForImprovement* : quality cut used when we try to improve the
///   quality of the tracks.
