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

The Impact Summary is contained in the lead document.
 
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.
