Description
SNOLAB has a low background gamma ray counting facility to screen materials for use in the next generation of Neutrinoless Double Beta decay and Dark Matter experiments. The low background is achieved through a 2 km depth underground, gamma ray shielding from the lab environment, and Radon reduction with Nitrogen purge gas. SNOLAB has acquired a new detector in collaboration with the Health Canada, Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Monitoring Program. The detector will be used to further their high sensitivity monitoring program. We will present the results of the initial commissioning and calibration of this detector.
