Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The energy spectrum of neutrons produced by cosmic ray muons in the underground detector LVD (3650 m.w.e.) is obtained for the energy range of 30–450 MeV. The spectrum is derived using the energy release spectrum of neutron interaction products in 1.5 m3 scintillation counters.
