METKirun
METKirun is a proposed underground research laboratory focused on neutrino physics. The project aims to construct a facility deep underground to reduce cosmic ray background noise, which is essential for detecting faint neutrino signals. The proposed location for METKirun is in the Kiruna region of Sweden, known for its stable geology and existing infrastructure from the LKAB iron ore mine.
The primary scientific goal of METKirun is to conduct precision measurements of neutrino properties. This includes
The laboratory would house advanced detectors designed to capture and analyze neutrino interactions. These detectors would
METKirun represents a significant international collaboration, involving scientists and institutions from various countries. The project is
