Properties of the radiogenic neutron background in DARWIN — •Maike Doerenkamp, Antoine Chauvin, Andrii Terliuk, and Stephanie Hansmann-Menzemer — Universität Heidelberg

DARWIN is a proposed multi-ton liquid xenon experiment that aims to explore new parameter-space in the direct detection of WIMPs through nuclear recoil. A major source of background for this experiment are radiogenic neutrons, originating from detector materials. A good understanding and modelling of their properties is therefore necessary for sensitivity studies. This talk will discuss characteristics of this background and methods to reduce it, to ultimately improve the sensitivity.
