Plenary talk

Muogarphy applications have been broadened in the last years thanks to the advances on particle detectors used to perform the measurements. Among the different technologies, the Irfu group is using multiplexed Micromegas detectors since almost ten years. Telescopes based on this technology have showed their capabilities and performance in such a different applications as archaeology, civil...

22. The PREliminary MIga Seismic Experiment - PREMISE

Olivier Sèbe (CEA, DAM, F-91297 Arpajon, France)

Couplings: Earth, solid, atmosphere, universe

Plenary talk

In 2020, a temporary seismic experiment has been conducted by the CEA/DAM and the CNRS/LSBB with the support of more than 18 different academic laboratories or companies. During this experiment, the seismic wave field generated by several small active sources has been recorded in 3 dimensions on the site of the Laboratoire Souterrain Bas Bruit (LSBB), Rustrel, France. Taking advantage of the...

14. Coupling of atmospherics and the ionosphere observed from LSBB

Couplings: Earth, solid, atmosphere, universe

Plenary talk

All lightning strokes generate electromagnetic pulses –atmospherics– which can travel over distances of thousands of kilometers. Night-side atmospherics show typical frequency dispersion signatures caused by sub-ionospheric propagation. Their analysis can be used to determine the distance to the source lightning, and therefore it represents a safe tool for investigation of distant...

18. Use of natural organic matter fluorescence to illustrate transit time differences in the unsaturated zone of karst hydrosystems. Application to the Low-Noise Underground Laboratory (LSBB) of Rustrel, Pays d'Apt, in France

Leïla Serène (HSM, Univ Montpellier, CNRS, IRD, Montpellier, France)

Plenary talk

Karst aquifers contribute significantly to water supply. Sustainable management of karst water resources requires a good understanding of karst recharge processes. Most karst aquifers are fastly reacting systems, in which short transit times (0 to 6 months) are common. However, few natural tracers are usable in this time range. In a recent work currently under review (Serene et al., 2022), we...

31. Origin and evolution of the French nuclear deterrence system during the cold war.

Daniel Boyer (LSBB, Laboratoire Souterrain Bas Bruit, CNRS, La grande combe, 84400 Rustrel, France)

Industrial development in low background noise environments

Plenary talk

The deterrence ground-to-ground force has to be ready to answer to the President’s order in all time and at the highest rate of availability.
In order to guarantee the counter efficiency, this system must be invulnerable. For this purpose, the substructure of the different facilities meets very severe requirement for protection and security. We are the heirs of this doctrine.
