Scientific paper

A technique to measure low intensity fast neutron flux has been developed in order to measure the neutron background from rock at the Boulby Underground Laboratory (2800 m.w.e.). The experiment was performed using a liquid scintillation detector loaded with Gd. A flux of fast neutrons from rock was measured as (1.72 ± 0.61(stat.) ± 0.38(syst.)) × 10-6 cm-2 s-1 above 0.5 MeV.
