Description
The Assay and Acquisition of Radiopure Materials (AARM) collaboration includes representatives from dark matter and neutrinoless double beta decay experiments. A series of workshops have fostered communication among collaborations with mutual interests in low background studies. Within this context, we have worked to create a model for sustainable and cost-effective low background infrastructure, including simulation tools and an integration website. An automated system has been developed which matches users to screening facilities and provides broad dissemination via the community materials database. A roadmap toward improved resource-sharing in an international context has been developed at AARM workshops and in planning exercises such as Snowmass.
