Simulating Muon-Induced Background for LEGEND

Neutrinoless double beta decay (NLDBD) is a hypothetical process which, if observed, would confirm total lepton number violation as well as the Majorana nature of the neutrino. The Majorana Demonstrator and GERDA experiments have successfully used high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector technology in two different setups to push the experimental limits on the minimum half-life of this process in Ge-76. The Large Enriched Germanium Experiment for Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay (LEGEND) collaboration has been formed to combine global efforts in the formation of a ton-scale germanium detector experiment to explore the inverted neutrino mass ordering. In this presentation, we will discuss the ongoing efforts of developing a GEANT4-based simulation module for the purpose of simulating the background induced by high energy muons at LEGEND. This module is highly modifiable, and this can be used to change parameters to reflect various LEGEND configurations and candidate deep underground host-laboratories for comparison.
