Low Background Radiation Detection Techniques and Mitigation of Radioactive Backgrounds
The study of rare fundamental physics phenomena, such as double-beta decay, rare nuclear decays and dark matter, requires very low levels of background radiation in order to observe a signal. To achieve the required background levels, experiments are located deep underground as these facilities prov...
