Backgrounds Prediction SOURCES OF ELECTRON RECOIL BACKGROUND: radioactive contamination in the detector and shield materials ( 232 Th, 238 U, 60 Co, 40 K); contamination in liquid xenon ( 232 Th, 238 U, 85 Kr); 222 Rn contamination in the shield cavity. SOURCES OF NUCLEAR RECOIL BACKGROUND: (α,n) reactions from 232 Th, 238 U and 235 U decay chains, and spontaneous fission of 238 U (contamination in detector and shield materials, local radioactivity in the rock and concrete surrounding the experimental site); muon-induced neutrons.
