Background simulation study for deep underground cavities — •Matteo Palermo — Max-Planck-Institut fuer Physik, Muenchen

Underground cavities are the location of choice for low background experiments. Nevertheless, the hadronic showers created by muons or neutrinos which penetrate deep into the Earth create radiation, even inside the deepest cavity. The showers do not have to originate inside the cavity. The minimum distance, up to which muons have to be considered as "dangerous", is investigated. Moreover, the overall shower behavior and its single components, especially the neutral component, are studied. This is done by simulating the hadronic showers according with an energy spectrum expected from muons deep underground.
