Background rates calculation inside FLArE #10

An important study for the CDR is the calculation of rates for gammas, neutrons and other species inside the FLArE. This will allow to determine the background rates as a function of threshold.

Foreseen requirements:

Muon flux from the FLUKA simulation in the FPF hall
Implementation of the rest of the materials in the FPF hall (FLArE insulation, steel frame).

Output:

Gamma and neutrons fluxes as a function of the position inside FLArE

Just for the record, I found that similar studies were done for FASER in this paper. In particular, Table 4 in that paper is what we also want to generate for FLArE regarding muon-induced background (including muons undergoing photo-nuclear interactions in the rock in front of the detector, and within the detector volume).
