Description

The Boulby Underground Screening (BUGS) Facility employs a number of techniques for material characterisation. One of these is the study of radon emanation from materials. Future large scale low background detectors will have unprecedented requirements to reduce the amount of radon emanated from materials. This poster will introduce the facility and discuss the techniques used to maximise sensitivity and throughput
