Abstract:Ambient radiation background contributed by the penetrating cosmic ray particles and the radionuclides present in the rock materials have been measured at an underground laboratory located inside a mine at 555 m depth.The laboratory is being set up to explore rare event search processes, such as direct dark matter search, neutrinoless double beta decay, axion search, supernova neutrino detection, etc., that require specific knowledge of the nature and extent of the radiation environment in order to assess the … Show more
