Neutron background estimates in GESA
The SIMPLE project looks for nuclear recoil events generated by rare dark matter scattering interactions. Nuclear recoils are also produced by more prevalent cosmogenic neutron interactions. While the rock overburden shields against (μ,n) neutrons to below 10−8 cm−2 s−1, it itself contributes via r...
