Description

The Black Hills Underground Campus (BHUC) houses a low background counting facility on the 4850’ level of the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Currently there are five ultra-low background, high-purity germanium detectors operating inside of a class 1,000 cleanroom at the Davis Campus, with a sixth anticipated to be installed within a year. A robust nitrogen purge system and on-site personnel assistance allow these detectors to run continuously to support groups that need low background counting of materials.
