    Invited
    Presentation
    I shall review the major underground research facilities in North America and their physics programs. Underground physics research began in North American in the 1960s. The research initially focused on neutrino studies and searches for proton decay. It has subsequently branched out to cover neutrinoless double beta decay, direct detection of dark matter, and completing our understanding of...

    Invited
    Presentation
    The LZ dark matter experiment will require an unprecedented low background rate within its fiducial volume, defining strict constraints on radioactivity from construction materials that is further mitigated through the combination of powerful self-shielding from liquid xenon, 3D event vertex reconstruction, and external veto detector systems. An aggressive screening campaign with cutting-edge...

    Invited
    Presentation
    The Berkeley Low Background Facility (BLBF) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) in Berkeley, California provides low background gamma spectroscopy services to a wide array of experiments and projects. The analysis of samples takes place within two unique facilities; locally within a carefully-constructed, low background laboratory on the surface at LBNL and at a recently...
