Sample application implementing the algorithm described in Eur. Phys. J. C 81, 767 (2021) Original repository here: https://gitlab.cern.ch/sghinesc/muonfluxenhancement
The geometry is a simplified version of the NA62 TAX, consisting of two blocks of copper followed by 6 blocks of iron of the same length. The total length is appxoimately 3.2 meters.
Protons of 400 GeV/c are shot with a pencil beam in the middle of the transverse entrance plane of the first block and the use can select whether to enhance (bias) the muon flux resulting from the shower.
The setup has been tested only on CentOS 7 machines with CVMFS access.

Only muons with track type == 1 are to be used after any kind of biased run, regardless of the output tree.
