Measurement of the Gamma Ray Background in the Davis Cavern at the Sanford Underground Research Facility

D. S. Akerib, C. W. Akerlof, S. K. Alsum +164

Deep underground environments are ideal for low background searches due to the attenuation of cosmic rays by passage through the earth. However, they are affected by backgrounds fr…
