Underground measurements
Since October 2007 and in complement to altitude measurements, underground characterization of SRAM circuits and ultra-low level alpha-particle counting measurements have been conducted at the Modane underground Laboratory (LSM, CEA-CNRS) located in the Fréjus Tunnel (-4800m water equivalent). This section presents some data and work about the activities conducted at LSM.

ASTEP presentation at the ULISSE Workshop
2nd LSM-EXTENSION WORKSHOP - OCTOBER 16th 2009 - Modane, France
The 2nd ULISSE at LSM workshop took place on october 16, 2009 at Valfréjus near Modane, France.
The aim of the workshop was to gather experiments potentially interested in the new international facility. This meeting was also the opportunity to evaluate the infrastructure demands of the future experiments. The scientific program included topics in astroparticle and nuclear physics and other related fields in underground science (sedimentology, geology, biology, micro-electronics, low radioactivity measurements, ...).
Experiments jointly conducted on the ASTEP plateform and at the LSM were (...)
