/** \class TChain
A chain is a collection of files containg TTree objects.
When the chain is created, the first parameter is the default name
for the Tree to be processed later on.

Enter a new element in the chain via the TChain::Add function.
Once a chain is defined, one can use the normal TTree functions
to Draw,Scan,etc.

Use TChain::SetBranchStatus to activate one or more branches for all
the trees in the chain.
