Abstract

A detailed understanding of radiation backgrounds is crucial for next generation of beyond standard model physics low-background experiments. Muon-induced neutrons contribute to this background. So far, simulations can not reliably reproduce measurements of these neutrons. In order to improve the reliability of Monte Carlo programs for muon-induced neutrons, experimental and simulated findings are compared.
