LNGS Facilities available
for TARI projects
[page under construction]
UNDERGROUND FACILITIES
TARI projects can benefit from the following facilities available at
LNGS:
-
Infrastructures for low background measurements
: LNGS provides a large variety of low background facilities:
experimental underground areas equipped with all supplies (electricity,
water network connection, etc.) where users can operate with their own
instrumentation; facilities for low level radioactivity scintillator applications;
facilities for studies or test of instrumentation or detector prototypes
in ultra-low background shieldings; a gamma ray spectrometry laboratory
for measurement of ultra-low radioactivity samples.
-
Instrumentation for Radon monitoring and geophysics
: A variety of instrumentation for study of low concentrations
of Radon, Krypton, Tritium, etc. inside liquid and gasses is available
at LNGS. Research applications cover environmental physics, geophysics
and applications to rare-event physics. An interferometric seismic station
is installed inside the underground lab, for seismic studies.
-
LUNA accelerator facility: The 400
kV LUNA2 accelerator facility installed at the Laboratori Nazionali del
Gran Sasso provides a unique possibility to study nuclear reactions at
very low energies, with applications in nuclear astrophysics and low energy
nuclear physics.
-
Computing infrastructures and PC arrays: At
LNGS a big computing center is available for applications in the fields
of nuclear and particle astrophysics (for instance simulations of background
for underground experiments, theoretical astrophysics and cosmology). In
particular two high performance machines for parallel calculus have been
recently installed.
