Description

At the Kamioka Underground Laboratory, an inter-university facility named KERNEL has been organized to search for extremely rare phenomena. This facility is necessary for the successful construction of the ultra-low BG detector: KamLAND2. The facility will include a CLASS1 super-clean room, a clean air system, an ultra pure water system, and the experimental space for developing low radioactivity techniques. This poster, I will present a status and the future prospects of the facility.
