Scientific paper

A comparison study of the Monte Carlo codes GEANT4 and FLUKA for simulating neutron production by muons penetrating deep underground has been carried out. GEANT4 was found to generate fewer neutrons at muon energies above ~100 GeV, by at most a factor of 2 in some materials, which we attribute mainly to lower neutron production in hadronic cascades. The muon-induced neutron background expected in a 250 kg liquid xenon WIMP dark matter detector was calculated with the two codes and good agreement was found for the recoil event rates.
