JRA1 5th General Meeting Low background techniques for deep underground sciences IAP, Paris, 20th Feb 07 WIFI: 556 A0 DA DA 1
JRA1 participants Contractors: UNIZAR, CEA/CNRS, INFN, USFD, MPIK, TUM, JRC Non-contractors: RAL, FZK, Dortmund, Silesia, Henryk Niewodniczanski, Pol. Milano, CUPP JRA1 WPs WP1 – Measurement of backgrounds in the EU underground labs WP2 –Development of a library of background simulation codes WP3 –R&D for UL background techniques and facilities in the labs WP4 –R&D on radio-purity of materials and purification techniques
Welcome to Jean-Côme Lanfranchi (TUM) Meetings:
Next events ILIAS General Meeting (26-28 Feb, Chambéry): - Talk on Neutron background studies in the DULby Eirini Tziaferi - Talk on Muon-induced background for underground physics experiments by Luciano Pandola Mid-term review (28 Feb, Chambéry): Talk about “technical progress” of tasks/deliverables/modifications for JRA1 activity (José M. Carmona) ILIAS-next (1 March, Chambéry): Talk about new JRA1 in ILIAS-next (Matthias Laubenstein) ANNUAL REPORT (send to Gilles before 5 March!!)
4th year First six months • 4th year deliverables: • ALL databases open and available for UG users (background components, MC library, and radiopurity) • Final TR on new low background facilities • Results and prospects about R&D program on purification techniques
Mid-term Review JRA1 – Main achievements • Visits to the labs and exchange of information/practices • Upgrade and improvement of ultralow background facilities • Formation of a discussion group about Monte Carlo simulations; contact with GEANT 4 development group addressing them specific questions and needs for simulations of underground physics • Access to information in the databases created for WP1, WP4 (first databases ever created on background measurements and measurements of radiopurity of materials) • Access to library of programs plus documentation created for WP2 • Others? … What activities/results would you remark in the Mid-Term Review?
