Influence of neutrons and γ-rays in the Fréjus underground laboratory on the NEMO experiment

To be sensitive to an effective Majorana neutrino mass, 〈 m ν〉, on the order of 0.1 eV, the NEMO 3 double beta (ββ(0ν)) decay experiment requires precise knowledge and control of the backgrounds. The effect of neutrons and γ-rays from the Fréjus underground laboratory (LSM, Laboratoire Souterrain de...
