  8. COUNT RATE IN WATER TANK

  9. RESULTS -----------------------------------------------------------------------------By taking 1 and more fired PMT as muon triggerwe will have • 45 PMT give reduction factor of background ~ 170 / 99.41% / • 110 PMT give reduction factor of background ~ 430/ 99.77% / • Input count rate is ~ 3500 Hz for N_pmt >0 • Such reduction input External Gammas Background • at level 10^-3 cpy/kg/keV
