Abstract

The underground Large Volume Detector (LVD) has been in operation at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory since 1992. The research program includes a search for neutrino bursts from stellar core colapses, studies of the cosmic ray penetrating component, and investigations of background sources at detecting rare events. In this work, the low-energy background (E > 0.5 MeV) in the LVD experiment is analyzed.
