Ambient Neutron Flux Measurements at Kimballton Underground Research Facility (KURF)

POSTER

Abstract

It is important to accurately measure the ambient neutron flux at the Kimballton Underground Research Facility (KURF) in Virginia for the low background experiments housed there, some of which are associated with the {\sc Majorana} project. This paper presents initial results for measurements of the neutron flux at KURF, which will be compared to those from other sites around the world.
