Resumen
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) A study on cosmic muons has been performed for the two identical near and far neutrino detectors of the Double Chooz experiment, placed at similar to 120 and similar to 300 m. w.e. underground respectively, including the corresponding simulations using the MUSIC simulation package. This characterization has allowed us to measure the muon flux reaching both detectors to be (3.64 +/- 0.04) x 10(-4) cm(-2) s(-1) for the near detector and (7.00 +/- 0.05) x 10(-5) cm(-2) s(-1) for the far one. The seasonal modulation of the signal has also been studied observing a positive correlation with the atmospheric temperature, leading to an effective temperature coefficient of alpha(T) = 0.212 +/- 0.024 and 0.355 +/- 0.019 for the near and far detectors respectively. These measurements, in good agreement with expectations based on theoretical models, represent one of the first measurements of this coefficient in shallow depth installations. 2 CEA CNRS/IN2P3 computer centre CCIN2P3 UnivEarthS Labex program of Sorbonne Paris Cite in France [ANR-10-LABX-0023, ANR-11-IDEX-0005-02] Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan (MEXT) Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Department of Energy National Science Foundation of the United States U.S. Department of Energy Award through the Nuclear Science and Security Consortium [DE-NA0000979] Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad (MINECO) of Spain Max Planck Gesellschaft Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft DFG in Germany Transregional Collaborative Research Center in Germany [TR27] excellence cluster "Origin and Structure of the Universe" in Germany Maier-Leibnitz-Laboratorium Garching in Germany Russian Academy of Science Kurchatov Institute RFBR (the Russian Foundation for Basic Research) Brazilian Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI) Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos (FINEP) Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cientifico e Tecnologico (CNPq) Sao Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) Brazilian Network for High Energy Physics (RENAFAE) in Brazil Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)
