The Low Radioactivity Techniques (LRT) workshop series examines topics in low-radioactivity materials and techniques that are fundamental for quantum information science and rare-event searches, including dark matter, solar neutrinos, double-beta decay, long half-life phenomena and nuclear astrophysics.
The workshop features updates from underground laboratories around the globe as well as the latest information regarding all aspects of low background detectors, techniques and assay programs in addition to recent developments in advanced machining and 3D printing using ultra-pure materials.
The goal of this workshop series is to bring together experts in this field for presentations and discussion broadly covering topics related to low radioactivity techniques. The intention is to foster and continue the collaboration and resource sharing required for new generations of detectors to be developed at underground facilities.
The workshop is being hosted in The Guildhall, York, United Kingdom.
We are planning for an in-person workshop.
Initiated by the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory in 2004, the 2026 meeting is the 10th international topical workshop in the LRT series.
The workshop will run from Monday 21st to Thursday 24th September (4-days).
There will also be an opportunity for a limited number of people to visit Boulby Underground Laboratory on Sunday 20th September and Friday 25th September 2026. Places on this trip will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.
