Effect of Pressure and Ventilation in the Experimental Hall on the Count Rate of Background Events in the LVD Detector

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

A study is performed of variations in the count rate of detector background pulses in the LVD experiment (Gran Sasso, Italy). Such variations are caused by the injection of radon from the rock into the experimental hall. Dependences are presented for variations in the air pressure on the Earth’s surface and in the experimental hall of the LVD, along with others in the count rate of LVD events associated with changes in the concentration of radon.
