Scientific paper

Neutron background is significant in limiting the sensitivity of dark matter detectors. Presented here are results of simulations performed for a time projection chamber acting as a particle dark matter detector in an underground laboratory. The investigated background includes neutrons from rock and detector components, generated via spontaneous fission and (α,n) reactions, as well as those due to cosmic-ray muons. Also examined are methods of neutron background supression.
