Abstract
The isotopes of $^{9}$Li and $^{8}$He produced by cosmic-rays are one of main source for backgrounds in reactor neutrino experiments. The isotope decays to a neutron and an electron and mimics an inverse beta decay of an electron antineutrino from reactors. The $^{9}$Li/$^{8}$He background spectrum and rate are measured using the data taken by the RENO, and compared with Monte-Carlo prediction. In this presentation, we report the measured cosmogenic background spectrum and rate at RENO.
