Scientific paper

Searches for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) can be carried out based on the detection of nuclear recoil energy in CsI(Tl) crystals. It is crucial to minimize the neutron background as well as to fully understand the remaining background sources through adequate shielding when using the pulse shape discrimination method for WIMP detection. We have measured the neutron flux at 350 m minimum depth, where the CheongPyung underground laboratory (CPL) is located, to be 3.00+/-0.02 (stat.)+/-0.05 (syst.)×10-5 neutrons/cm2/s with the neutron energy in the range 1.5
