WP 1.WP 1.
Key objectivesKey objectives
To measure the environmental background components (neutrons, gammas, muons, Rn contamination in the air and in the water ...) in the four underground sites in a coherent and coordinated way. The joint research effort should optimise the know-how of the different participants.
This is extremely important for the interpretation of data and for planning future experiments.

WP 2.WP 2.
Key objectivesKey objectives
To produce a reliable Monte Carlo library of simulation codes to identify and quantify the backgrounds in the EU underground sites in a variety of experimental conditions for the interpretation of data and for planning future experiments.
The joint research effort should optimise the know-how of the different participants.
Experimental results from Task 1 will be useful as the input of the simulations.

WP 3.WP 3.
Key objectivesKey objectives
-Construction and upgrading of ultra low background facilities (ULBF) in the four underground labs forming an EU-coordinated service for applications in rare event physics and other fields of world-wide value.
-Implementation of new techniques to deal with the background: active and passive shielding, veto systems, particle discrimination techniques, fragmentation of calorimeter detectors, control and suppression of radon levels...
-Study of the feasibility of fabrication of detectors and materials underground.
