DESCRIPTION:
. As a result, a precise neutron production yield can be presented. From the Back Cover The work presented in this book is a major step towards understanding and eventually suppressing background in the direct search for dark matter particles scattering off germanium detectors. Thus, future underground experiments will be able to reliably model the expected rate of muon-induced neutrons, making it possible to develop the necessary shielding concept to suppress this background component. The data are complemented by a thorough modeling of the neutron signal using the GEANT4 simulation package, demonstrating the appropriateness of this tool to model these rare processes. Although the flux of cosmic muons is reduced by many orders of magnitude in underground laboratories, the remaining energetic muons induce neutrons through various processes, neutrons that can p

Since 2014, he is a postdoctoral researcher at the Vienna University of Technology and at the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Searching for dark matter remains the major topic of his research interests, bringing his experince in background investigations into the CRESST experiment. In addition, he is developping electronics and r
