Measurement of IBD-like background with plastic scintillator detector array at surface level
A prototype detector array for reactor electron antineutrinos is constructed using a 4 × 4 (160 kg) plastic scintillator detector array and operated for 277 h of background data collection. The first analysis of the IBD-like background at the surface is presented with the event rate of 397.4 ± 20.3 day−1, with the correlated IBD-like background event rate being 137.42 ± 10.05 day−1. The majority of IBD-like background events at the surface originate from cosmic neutrons. The contributions of muon-induced radioisotopes, such as 9Li and 8He, and muon-induced neutrons, are insignificantly small compared to cosmic neutrons.
