“…The spectra taken on the ground level and in the underground exhibit great similarity, the integral intensity of the continuum in the underground being about 1.75 times smaller. At the same time the intensity of cosmicray muons in the underground is about 3.5 times smaller [2]. 2.…”

Abstract:The background spectrum of a germanium detector, shielded from the radiations arriving from the lower and open for the radiations arriving from the upper hemisphere, is studied by means of absorption measurements, both in a ground level and in an underground laboratory. It is established that the continuous portion of this background spectrum is mostly due to the radiations that arrive from the upper hemisphere of the continuous spectrum similar to the instrumental one. The intensity of this radiation of an average energy of about 120 keV is estimated to about 8000 photons/m 2 s 2 srad in a ground level laboratory, and to about 5000 photons/m 2 s 2 srad at the depth of 25 m.w.e. Rough estimates of the dose that it contributes to the skin are about 1.5 nSv/h and 1 nSv/h respectively. Simulations by GEANT4 and CORSIKA demonstrate that this radiation is both of cosmic and terrestrial origin, mixed in proportion that still has to be determined.

“…These measurements yielded the precise values of the integral cosmic ray muon flux at the location of Belgrade. Measured muon flux is: 137(6) m -2 s -1 at the ground level and 45(2) m -2 s -1 at the underground level [4]. Different analyses of time series of these measurements have also been performed.…”

The new set-up in the Belgrade low-level and cosmic-ray laboratory

The Belgrade underground laboratory consists of two interconnected spaces, a ground level laboratory and a shallow underground one, at 25 meters of water equivalent. The laboratory hosts a low-background gamma spectroscopy system and cosmic-ray muon detectors. With the recently adopted digital data acquisition system it is possible to simultaneously study independent operations of the two detector systems, as well as processes induced by cosmic-ray muons in germanium spectrometers. Characteristics and potentials of the present experimental setup, together with some preliminary results for the flux of fast neutrons and stopped muons, are reported here
