To have accurate results when measuring neutron capture cross sections is important a good characterization of neutrons involved in these reactions. In this project, the first steps to compute the neutron background in the two experimental areas at the n_TOF facility at CERN have been performed via Monte Carlo simulations using the FLUKA code. Specifically, the energy spectrum and space distribution for background neutrons within energies between meV and GeV have been computed
