Sensitivity determination for neutron flux measurements in the LEGEND experiment — •Loris Steinhart — University Tübingen, Tübingen Germany

The next phase of the Large Enriched Germanium Experiment for Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay (LEGEND) aims to achieve unprecedented background suppression, making accurate neutron flux measurements within the detector array critical. This contribution focuses on sensitivity studies for determining the neutron flux using a Gadolinium-loaded polyethylene (GdPE) string integrated into the detector setup. This talk will present the methodology, simulation results, and initial experimental efforts, highlighting the impact of this measurement on understanding neutron-induced backgrounds and optimizing the LEGEND setup for maximum sensitivity to search for the 0νββ decay signal.
