Study of muon-induced neutron signatures for DARWIN observatory — •Jose Cuenca Garcia — Karlsruher Institut für Technologie, Karlsruhe, Deutschland, DARWIN collaboration

The goal of the DARWIN observatory is to become the most powerful dark matter detector using liquid Xenon as a target inside a sensitive time projection chamber (TPC). Although DM search experiments are underground, many background sources have to be understood and controlled. We present here some Geant4 simulations of a more detailed muon flux and how the interaction of the muons with the components of the detector can contribute to the background of the DM search.
