Add beamfiless for more gas target system in 2024 SMOG2

Qiuchan Lu requested to merge more_gases_forSMOG2 into v3-patches

Hi @gcorti @kreps:

More gases are expected to inject in SMOG2 cell during 2024 data-taking, such as: H2, D2, O2, Ne. At the meanwhile, Kr, Xe, Ni are also interesting to look at.

The pile-up value can be calculated with expected gas luminosity estimation(LHCb-PUB-2018-015), and Xsection estimated from heavy-ion generators(EPOS, HIJING as reference).

The expected pile-up values of these gases are:

The realistic value will be tuned after the luminosity measurement during the data-taking. At the time being, these expected values are used for studying the trigger rates.

For more details, you can kindly find the slides at IFT meeting: https://indico.cern.ch/event/1401366/contributions/5904530/attachments/2834974/4953942/PileUp_SMOG2_IFTApril10.pdf

After the beamfiles are merged, new collision types in LbMCSubmit will be added in. (cc @admorris )
