C06.00001: Rare physics searches at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory Invited Speaker: Qian Yue China Jinping underground laboratory (CJPL) has been an ideal site for rare-event experiments such as dark matter, neutrinoless double beta decay, solar neutrino experiment and so on, based on its deepest rock overburden of about 2400m and large internal space. The laboratory is operated by Tsinghua University and Yalong River Hydropower Development Company, LTD. This presentation will give an overview of conditions, status and future plan of the laboratory. Main experiments and scientific activities carried out at CJPL will be presented including dark matter experiments such as CDEX and PandaX, Jinping underground nuclear astrophysics program (JUNA), Jinping neutrino experiment and so on. |

C06.00002: Research and advanced training at the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory: a review. Invited Speaker: Aldo Lanni LNGS (Laboratorio Nazionale del Gran Sasso) is a world-class international facility for deep underground science, which has been in operation since 1987. The LNGS has pioneering the development of astroparticle physics and research for rare events in a number of aspects. LNGS is operated as a facility hosting multiple experiments. At present, it hosts experiments searching for dark matter, solar neutrinos, neutrinoless double beta decay, nuclear astrophysics, biology, and geophysics. The LNGS is equipped with ancillary facilities in underground and on surface to support experiments and R&D activities. The LNGS is putting forward an innovative facility for the development of new photosensors to be used in the search of rare events, and an original effort for producing ultra radio-pure copper. Some activities are carried out in collaboration with other underground facilities. The LNGS is a research infrastructure with a broad opportunity for young researchers thanks to the associated GSSI graduate school, located in the close city of L’Aquila, and to fellowships offered by INFN. In addition, the LNGS has an advanced training program for young people with financial support from local authorities. This talk presents an overview of the LNGS main present characteristics and future prospects. |

C06.00003: The role of national facilities in the international research ecosystem and development of highly qualified personnel: SNOLAB, a case study Invited Speaker: NIgel Smith SNOLAB is a deep underground research facility hosted in an active nickel mine in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. It hosts a broad programme of scientific research including direct dark matter searches, neutrino source and fundamental property studies, mining innovation, biological and genomics environment studies.This talk will use the historical development of SNOLAB as a case study for the role of a national facility in developing the research ecosystem and the development of highly qualified personnel |
