/// \class GridMedianBackgroundEstimator
/// 
/// Background Estimator based on the median pt/area of a set of grid
/// cells. 
///
/// Description of the method:
///   This background estimator works by projecting the event onto a
///   grid in rapidity and azimuth. In each grid cell, the scalar pt
///   sum of the particles in the cell is computed. The background
///   density is then estimated by the median of (scalar pt sum/cell
///   area) for all cells.
///
/// Parameters:
///   The class takes 2 arguments: the absolute rapidity extent of the 
///   cells and the size of the grid cells. Note that the size of the cell
///   will be adjusted in azimuth to satisfy the 2pi periodicity and
///   in rapidity to match the requested rapidity extent.
///
/// Rescaling:
///   It is possible to use a rescaling profile. In this case, the
///   profile needs to be set before setting the particles and it will
///   be applied to each particle (i.e. not to each cell). 
///   Note also that in this case one needs to call rho(jet) instead of
///   rho() [Without rescaling, they are identical]
