Description
Background minimization is extremely important for experiments involving rare decays like neutrinoless double beta decay (NDBD), dark matter (DM) search etc. Neutron background is one of the major sources which arises from natural radioactivity in surrounding materials (spontaneous fission and (α, n) reactions. High Z materials such as Pb, used for shielding α-ray background, enhances the production of neutrons from cosmic muons. Given the discrepancy between the existing measurements and simulations, independent measurements employing different techniques are very much important. With this motivation, we have developed the Muon Induced Neutron measurement setup at TIFR (MINT)
