This paper presents a comprehensive review on recent development and research
conducted in domestic and international underground laboratories. We first introduce the …

The main task of the Top Tracker detector of the neutrino reactor experiment Jiangmen
Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is to reconstruct and extrapolate atmospheric …

Deep underground environments are ideal for low background searches due to the
attenuation of cosmic rays by passage through the earth. However, they are affected by …

Recently there is a flourishing and notable interest in the crystalline scintillator material
sodium iodide (NaI) as target for direct dark matter searches. This is mainly driven by the …

Future dark matter direct detection experiments will reach unprecedented levels of
sensitivity. Achieving this sensitivity will require more precise models of signal and …

Abstract The COSINUS (Cryogenic Observatory for SIgnatures seen in Next-generation
Underground Searches) experiment aims at the detection of dark matter-induced recoils in …

Low-background neutron activation analysis has proven to be a very useful analytical
method for the selection of low-radioactive materials used for the realization of “rare-events” …

Deep underground laboratories (DULs) were originally created to host particle, astroparticle
or nuclear physics experiments requiring a low-background environment with vastly reduced …

In operating mines, as well as in deep locations for planned scientific activities, it is essential
to recognize the natural background radiation from the point of view of both occupational …

The nature of dark matter (DM) is one of the big remaining mysteries in modern cosmology
and astro-particle physics. Our standard cosmological model predicts a form of non …
