Abstract

We register events with large number of neutrons at the ground level as well as in the underground laboratory. These neutrons are produced in secondary cosmic ray inter- actions with matter surrounding the neutron detectors. We used the set of helium-3 filled gas proportional counters and plastic scintillators. We performed a series of measurements in different experimental setups to determine a role of par- ticle cascades in generation of large neutron multiplicities. With GEANT4 simulation of experimental setup we esti- mated number of neutrons produced in a single event which is required to explain our measurements.
