Description

In the Fall of 2012, we conducted a beam test at CERN to study the feasibility of using the M2 beam line to systematically study the production properties of muon-induced fast neutrons. The M2 beam line is capable of delivering high intensity muon beam with momentum up to 280 GeV/c. Our experimental setup consists of a lead target and a neutron detector surrounded by veto counters placed at about 1.5 m away from the target. In this talk, we summarize our findings of the beam test..
