      abstract     = {Cosmic-ray neutrons and muons can produce background in
                      low-rate experiments due to the production of long-lived
                      radioisotopes during transport above ground. This kind of
                      background can be reduced by shielding the detector
                      components during transport. Cosmic-ray neutron and muon
                      ($\mu^{+}$ and $\mu^{-}$) shielding simulations with the
                      GEANT4 based framework MaGe were done to estimate the
                      shielding properties of water, plastic, soil, steel,
                      concrete, copper, LNGS rock and lead. The shielding power of
                      cosmic-ray neutrons and muon-induced neutrons as well as the
                      total neutron fluxes at different shielding depths are
                      presented. Also the neutron backscattering effect was
                      investigated and was found to be significant.},
