An Update of facilities and science in the UK's deep underground science facility. For more than three decades astro-particle physicists have been operating experiments to search for Dark Matter 1100m below ground in a purpose-built 'low-background' facility at Boulby mine in the North East of England. This facility - the Boulby Underground Laboratory - is one of just a few places in the world...

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. The LSM is a multi-disciplinary platform for the experiments requiring low radioactivity environment. Several experiments in Particle and Astroparticle Physics, low-level of High Purity of Germanium gamma ray spectrometry,...

Stellar evolution and related nucleosynthesis play a fundamental role in the understanding of the origin of the chemical elements and in many astrophysical problems. The main goal of nuclear astrophysics is to provide a firm base for all these studies.
Underground nuclear astrophysics was born twenty five years ago in the core of Gran Sasso: thanks to the unique low-background environment of...

Sagnac Gyroscopes attached to the Earth surface are sensitive to the gravitomagnetic fields, and in principle the confrontation with independent measurements of the Earth rotation rate gives the possibility to measure the Lense Thirring effect without the necessity to map the gravitational field, and independently from the space measurements. It has been also pointed out that this kind of...

In this talk we report the ongoing characterization of the Sos Enattos former mine (Sardinia, Italy), one of the two canditate sites for the Einstein Telescope (ET), the European third-generation interferometric detector of Gravitational Waves. This observatory will be realized in an underground infrastructure: indeed, since either anthropogenic or natural seismic vibrations are dominated by...
