Virtual depth by active background suppression: revisiting the cosmic muon induced background of Gerda Phase II
Abstract In-situ production of radioisotopes by cosmic muon interactions may generate a non-negligible background for deep underground rare event searches. Previous Monte Carlo studies for the Gerda experiment at Lngs identified the delayed decays of $$^{77}$$ 77 Ge and its metastable state $$^{77m}...
