Record completeness
Claims
In the energy range of 57-2800 keV, the average γ-ray flux is measured to be (0.46 ± 0.06_stat ± 0.03_syst) cm^{-2} s^{-1}. A clear correlation is observed between the environmental γ-ray rate and the ambient radon concentration, consistent with the short-lived daughters of 222Rn.
The Geant4 simulations correctly model the full-energy-peak efficiencies and detector response for the actual environmental gamma spectrum at all eight locations; any mismatch would directly scale the reported flux.
The average environmental gamma-ray flux in Hall C at LNGS is 0.46 cm^{-2} s^{-1} (57-2800 keV) and correlates with ambient radon concentration.
