摘要

The Majorana or Dirac nature of the neutrino is yet to be known. The most practical way to probe the Majorana neutrino is by observing the neutrinoless double-beta (0 \(\nu \beta \beta \) ) decay. Signal detection is extremely challenging due to various backgrounds present near the \(Q_{\beta \beta }\) . One of the background for xenon-based experiments is \(^{137}\) Xe. We simulate the neutron-induced production of \(^{137}\) Xe and its rate at the incident neutron energy range of 1–9 keV.
