Production yield of muon-induced neutrons in lead : Measured at the modane underground laboratory /

The work presented in this book is a major step towards understanding and eventually suppressing background in the direct search for dark matter particles scattering off germanium detectors. Although the flux of cosmic muons is reduced by many orders of magnitude in underground laboratories, the rem...
