Overiew on Underground Labs research: Overiew on Underground Labs research
- Shaun Metzler Wyngaardt (Stellenbosch University)
The Modane Underground Laboratory (LSM) is located 1700 m (4800 m.w.e) below Fréjus peak (Alpes chain) mountain in the middle of the Fréjus tunnel between France/Italy. This thickness of the rock reduce the muon flux to 5 muons/day/m2. The LSM is a multidisciplinary platform for the experiments requiring low radioactivity environment. Several experiments in Particle and Astroparticle Physics,...
Boulby Underground Laboratory is the UK’s deep underground science facility and one of the few special facilities in the world suited to studies requiring ultra-low background radiation experimental space and/or general access to the deep underground environment. Boulby operates in a working polyhalite and salt mine in the North East of England and hosts a range of science from astroparticle...
I will discuss the direct search for dark matter within the southern hemisphere, with the SABRE and Cygnus experiments. The SABRE experiment is the first dual-sited direct detection experiment The Northern Hemisphere experiment will be hosted at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso.
I will also discuss the physics program of the first underground physics laboratory of the Southern...
