FLUKA simulations of the neutron flux in the Dresden Felsenkeller — •Marcel Grieger1,2, Daniel Bemmerer1, Thomas Hensel1,2, Stefan E. Müller1, and Kai Zuber2 — 1Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf — 2Technische Universität Dresden
The Dresden Felsenkeller is a shallow-underground site featuring a rock overburden of 47 m which hosts a 5 MV Pelletron accelerator in tunnels VIII and IX. Using previous measurements in the low-background γ-counting facility in tunnel IV as a benchmark, a FLUKA simulation has been developed to predict the neutron flux in tunnels VIII and IX. The simulation results provide insight into local neutron field inhomogeneities caused by the measurement environment itself.
