The work presented in this book is a major step towards
understanding and eventually suppressing background in the direct
search for dark matter particles scattering off germanium
detectors. Although the flux of cosmic muons is reduced by many
orders of magnitude in underground laboratories, the remaining
energetic muons induce neutrons through various processes, neutrons
that can potentially mimic a dark matter signal. This thesis
describes the measurement of muon-induced neutrons over more than 3
years in the Modane underground laboratory. The data are
complemented by a thorough modeling of the neutron signal using the
GEANT4 simulation package, demonstrating the appropriateness of
this tool to model these rare processes. As a result, a precise
neutron production yield can be presented. Thus, future underground
experiments will be able to reliably model the expected rate of
muon-induced neutrons, making it possible to develop the necessary
shielding concept to suppress this background component.
