Description
Boulby Underground Laboratory is the UK's deep underground science lab, located in the North East of England. Initially created to host dark matter direct detection experiments, the lab has since expanded into a multidisciplinary facility hosting a wide variety of projects, while continuing to maintain close connections with the dark matter community. As well as hosting a range of dark matter projects, Boulby also maintains a material assay suite which provides a variety of radioassay methods used for screening components for dark matter detectors across the world, including the upcoming next generation LXe detector, XLZD. I will present an overview of our current facility and the dark matter and related projects we host there, and then go on to talk about plans for our new facility and the opportunities for hosting future experiments at Boulby Underground Laboratory.
