Abstract:
One of the key objectives for the next generation of experiments in rare process physics, particularly those involving neutrinos, is to enhance the physics program by constructing detection systems with minimal radioactive background. Neutrons are a major source of this background. To address this, we initiated a series of studies to determine the energy dependence of the neutron attenuation coefficient in various materials of interest. These studies were conducted through simulations using the FLUKA code and experimental measurements. In this communication, I will present preliminary results from both simulations and measurements.
