Canada is at the forefront in the international search for new forces and forms of matter thanks to SNOLAB. Designed for the study of neutrino and dark matter physics, it’s the deepest clean laboratory in the world dedicated to this type of work. The lab, which was once the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory, was built in a mine to avoid interference from environmental and solar radioactivity.
Located 2km below the surface.
SNOLAB has 5,000 m2 of clean space underground for experiments and supporting infrastructure. On surface there is a 3,100 m2 SNOLAB building to support the underground experiments.
Amazing what you can find out when you get temporary ADD from work and Google is sitting in front of you.
