Comment on “Fitting the Annual Modulation in DAMA with Neutrons from Muons and Neutrinos”

A Comment on the Letter by J. H. Davis, Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 081302 (2014).

Example calculated charged-current neutrino cross sections [9, 10]. Neutron-generating partial cross sections have higher thresholds and smaller magnitudes (factor of a few). Neutral-current equivalents are smaller by $O(10)$. We considered only lead in our calculations; the ${}^8\mathrm{B}$ flux is not energetic enough to produce NIN reactions in the lighter shielding and most cavern materials.
