Description

The study of extremely rare phenomena calls for an environment free of cosmic and radioactive backgrounds which might mimic true signals. Laboratories deep underground, well shielded against particles from cosmic rays, meet this requirement. I will briefly introduce the subject and focus on on-going efforts towards next generation underground detectors.
