Sumario:In this article the muon induced spallation background in forthcoming and future solar neutrino experiments like BOREXINO, KAMLAND, LENS and LIQUID XENON is being discussed. The results of cross section measurements at the SPS muon beam at CERN to determine the muon induced insitu production of radioactive isotopes in scintillator based targets are presented as well as the calculated and estimated background rates for the solar neutrino experiments mentioned above.
