RHO meson in FLUKA

I am working on a heavy photon search experiment. This is a fixed target
experiment with 6 GeV e- beam hitting a 0.01 X0 tungsten target. A heavy
photon, if it exists, will decay to e+e- pair. One of the major
background is photo-produced rho mesons (and other vector mesons) that
decay to e+e-. Is the photoproduction of rho meson included in FLUKA? If
it is included, I need to score this rate. While I don't need to track
rhos as they decay instantly, I need to score the production of rho. How
can I do this?
