Description

This study investigates the stability of background conditions in the νGeN experiment at the Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant. It is demonstrated that fluctuations of the background count rate of the germanium detector inside the passive shielding are correlated with the intensity of photoabsorption peaks from radon-related gamma rays. Using data from periods with different intensity of these peaks, an energy spectrum of radon-related contribution to the experiment's region of interest is obtained.
