Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

Planned Impact

Description The completion of the tracking detector sections of the Demonstrator module and transport from the UK to the LSM underground laboratory in France. The award objectives were mainly met but the installation and commissioning was delayed due to limited funding.
Development of ultra-low background measurement techniques.
Development of software to facilitate the analysis of data from the Demonstrator Module.
The project is ongoing and so the findings have been taken forward.
Exploitation Route The project is ongoing and so the findings have been taken forward in the project.
Ultra-low background measurement techniques are useful to many experiments.
Sectors Other
 
Description The progress of the SuperNEMO project featured in an article appearing in The Guardian newspaper in October 2015, following the successful transport of the first tracker module from the UK to France.
