There are fewer than 15 deep underground science laboratories around the world. These laboratories are special places for science, supporting wide variety of studies that can only be done in an ultra-low background radiation and/or deep underground environment. Europe has a particularly rich history and array of underground facilities – including the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane (LSM) in France, and the Boulby Underground Laboratory in the UK.
The Boulby Underground Laboratory operates in working mine in NE England. Boulby hosts a range of pure and applied science from astroparticle physics to Earth and environmental science, astrobiology and planetary exploration technology development. Most prominently Boulby is an important part of the UK’s direct Dark Matter search programme. Both UK and Boulby have been very influential in the global Dark Matter search effort in the last few decades, and the international race to solve this important cosmological problem is still very much on. The UK is now planning for major expansion of facilities and science at Boulby in the coming decade, working towards building a major new facility to host next generation Dark Matter search projects and more from 2030+.
This talk will give an overview of Deep Underground Facilities and Science and give an update of status and plans for the UK’s Boulby Underground Laboratory.
