Title: Measurement of the muon-induced neutron seasonal modulation with LVD,
Abstract: Cosmic ray muons with the average energy of 280 GeV and neutrons produced by
muons are detected with the Large Volume Detector at LNGS. We present an
analysis of the seasonal variation of the neutron flux on the basis of the data
obtained during 15 years. The measurement of the seasonal variation of the
specific number of neutrons generated by muons allows to obtaine the variation
magnitude of of the average energy of the muon flux at the depth of the LVD
location. The source of the seasonal variation of the total neutron flux is a
change of the intensity and the average energy of the muon flux.
