Yemilab
Yemilab () is a subterranean dark matter research facility searching for weakly interacting massive particles and neutrinoless double beta decay and sterile neutrinos. The facility is 1,000 meters under the mountain Yemisan and encased in limestone. It has a dedicated experimental area of 3,000 m2 making it the sixth largest at time of its opening in 2022. There are 17 separate experimental spaces for relocated equipment from the Korea Invisible Mass Search, Yangyang Underground Laboratory (Y2L) along with experimental equipment from various domestic universities and institutes. Yemilab is 400 meters deeper and provides 10 times more space than the Yangyang Underground Laboratory. An addition 6,200 m3 cylindrical pit has been prepared in order to accommodate future experiments. Timeline and location From its establishment in 2013, Center for Underground Physics (CUP) of the Institute for Basic Science had been planning the creation of a deep underground laboratory.
