Homestake DUSEL and Sanford Laboratory Newsletter for July 2010
The annual SNOLAB workshop will be held in Sudbury, Canada on August 25th and 26th, 2010.
There will also be an opportunity for underground tours on August 27th for those who wish to see

On April 13-15, 2010, over one hundred and fifty people
met on the campus of the South Dakota School of Mines &
Technology in Rapid City, SD for the DUSEL NSF Status Review.
The DUSEL Science Presentation at the NSF Status Review

The NSF has approved the S4 funding for the development
of an underground accelerator facility at DUSEL. The main
goal of the facility is the measurement of low energy reaction
cross sections of relevance for stellar nucleosynthesis
processes. The Dakota
Ion Accelerators for Nuclear Astrophysics DIANA
will consist of two accelerators to cover a broader energy
range than presently possible at the LUNA facility at the
Gran Sasso underground laboratory in Italy. The figure shows
a conceptual design of the DIANA facility (Click on the
