A current status of the project of a large volume scintillation telescope at the Baksan neutrino observatory is presented. The main research activities of the BLVST are low-energy neutrino physics, astrophysics and geophysics. To detect geoneutrinos, large-scale new-generation scintillator detectors located at large depths in the regions with a low background level from nuclear reactors are...

Two major rare-decay search experiments, COSINE-100 for WIMP dark matter and AMoRE for neutrinoless double beta decay, have been running at the Yangyang underground laboratory (Y2L) in Korea for about four years. In order to measure radio-activities of materials in both experiments, a number of ultra-low radioactivity measurement detectors have been developed and are now operational. For...

China Jinping underground laboratory (CJPL) has been an ideal site for rare-event experiments such as dark matter, neutrinoless double beta decay, solar neutrino experiment and so on, based on its deepest rock overburden of about 2400m and large internal space. This presentation will give an overview of conditions, status and future plan of the laboratory. Main experiments and scientific...

The primary design for CDEX-2 Experiment will put 100kg HPGe into a big tank of liquid nitrogen with 13m diameter and 13m height. One of the most important problems is how to obtain low background & large scale Flexible Copper Clad Laminate (FCCL) for electronic circuit substrate. Regarding the copper clad, high purity oxygen-free copper will be used, and for the flexible laminate, PTFE and...

Ambient neutron is one of the most serious backgrounds for underground experiments searching for rare events (e.g., neutrinoless double beta decay and dark matter).
Ambient neutron flux in an underground laboratory of Kamioka Observatory was measured using a He-3 proportional counter with various moderator setup. Since the detector response largely depends on the spectrum shape, energy...

Radioactivity from radon is one of the main backgrounds for low energy
experiments, like the Super-Kamiokande and the other experiments
hosted in the Kamioka Observatory. In addition, it is an issue for the
safety of the researchers and technicians working in underground
laboratories. In the Kamioka Observatory, a total of 28 1-L radon
detectors are deployed in different areas in...

Superconducting quantum circuits are emerging as one of the leading candidates for the implementation of coherent quantum processors. Despite the booming development in the last decade, one of the main challenges in the up-scaling of superconducting quantum bit (qubit) technology remains their limited quantum coherence.
Our goal is to tackle the decoherence induced by quasiparticles. In...

SNOLAB is a laboratory 2-km underground with a program focused on rare-event searches enabled by the suppression of cosmic radiation. As these rare-event searches probe unprecedented low background regimes, SNOLAB is developing infrastructure to support and enable these experimental programs. I will describe some of the current capabilities and the developments that will help plan, construct,...

With 9 years of activities in the current phase of the 1600 m2 LSC underground installations, several experiments and services are producing significant results. ANAIS has accumulated two years of data taking to verify DAMA results, while ArDM finished taking data, to be integrated in the Global Argon DM Collaboration this year. Our flagship experiment NEXT has demonstrated Xenon world record...
