Neutron Flux at the Gran Sasso Underground LaboratoryRevisited

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2011-05-23 v2

Abstract

The neutron flux induced by radioactivity at the Gran Sasso underground laboratory is revisited. We have performed calculations and Monte Carlo simulations; the results offer an independent check to the available experimental data reported by different authors, which vary rather widely. This study gives detailed information on the expected spectrum and on the variability of the neutron flux due to possible variations of the water content of the environment.
