Description

Low-Background Counting capabilities at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) are consolidated at the Black Hills Underground Campus (BHUC). Located in SURF’s Ross Campus, the BHUC is a class 1,000 cleanroom, which houses four single crystal High Purity Germanium (HPGe) counting systems and two dual HPGe crystal counting systems. While located at SURF, the BHUC counters are available to perform assays for the global underground physics community. After being temporarily located at SURF’s Davis Campus, the BHUC has now moved back into its original location and is fully operational.
