Simulation of the Neutron Sources in a Granite Tunnel

Simulation of the Neutron Sources in a Granite Tunnel

It is necessary to take into account the neutron background in almost all low-background research. In this paper an estimated neutron flux in the underground laboratory DULB-4900 of BNO INR RAS is presented. The estimation is based on results of measurements of radionuclide content in surrounding ro...

Description
Summary:It is necessary to take into account the neutron background in almost all low-background research. In this paper an estimated neutron flux in the underground laboratory DULB-4900 of BNO INR RAS is presented. The estimation is based on results of measurements of radionuclide content in surrounding rock (granite).
