Notes:
We summarize residual background sources encountered in experiments conducted deep underground. Physical mechanisms of production and methods of estimation for the dominant sources are considered, and comparisons of the calculations with underground measurements are discussed. Principal background sources discussed include primary interactions of cosmic rays, mechanisms of neutron production by cosmic rays and low energy backgrounds from neutrons, primordial and anthropogenic radionuclides, and secondary radioactivity from spallation.
