Canfranc Underground Laboratory

Local nameLaboratorio Subterráneo de Canfranc
LocationCanfranc, Spain

The Canfranc Underground Laboratory is a world-class deep underground laboratory designed for research in neutrino physics, dark matter and other unusual phenomena in nature that require very low environmental radioactivity to be observed. The location of the LSC, 800 meters below ground, is excavated between the Somport road tunnel and the old railway tunnel, about 8 km long, on the Spain-France border. Today, the LSC is the second largest laboratory in Europe at great depth, in close collaboration with the most important underground laboratories in the international framework: LNGS, SNOLab and Kamioka.

The LSC is a Consortium formed by a Consortium between the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, the Government of Aragon and the University of Zaragoza which belongs to the national network of Singular Scientific and Technical Infrastructures.
