Flux Modulations seen by the Muon Veto of the GERDA Experiment
The Gerda experiment at Lngs of INFN is equipped with an active muon veto. The main part of the system is a water Cherenkov veto with 66 PMTs in the water tank surrounding the Gerda cryostat. The muon flux recorded by this veto shows a seasonal modulation. Two causes have been identified: ( i ) seco...

description | The Gerda experiment at Lngs of INFN is equipped with an active muon veto. The main part of the system is a water Cherenkov veto with 66 PMTs in the water tank surrounding the Gerda cryostat. The muon flux recorded by this veto shows a seasonal modulation. Two causes have been identified: ( i ) secondary muons from the Cngs neutrino beam (2.2%) and ( ii ) a temperature modulation of the atmosphere (1.4%). A mean cosmic muon rate of Iμ0=(3.477±0.002stat±0.067sys)×10−4 /(s · m 2 ) was found in good agreement with other experiments at Lngs . Combining the present result with those from previous experiments at Lngs the effective temperature coefficient αT,Lngs is determined to 0.93 ± 0.03. A fit of the temperature coefficients measured at various underground sites yields a kaon to pion ratio r K / π of 0.10 ± 0.03. |

The main part of the system is a water Cherenkov veto with 66~PMTs in the water tank surrounding the GERDA cryostat. The muon flux recorded by this veto shows a seasonal modulation. Two effects have been identified which are caused by secondary muons from the CNGS neutrino beam (2.2 %) and a temperature modulation of the atmosphere (1.4 %).
