粒子物理经过几个月的谈判，五月八日，清华大学在北京签署了一项协议，将建造世界上最深的地下科学设施，比美国国家科学基金会可能在南达科他州的一个废弃矿井里建造的地下科学与工程实验室高出一百米左右。通过将传感器放置在地球深处，物理学家希望减少来自宇宙射线的虚假信号。中国的地下愿望已经在亚洲流传了几个月;国际社会将在6月15日上海的一个暗物质研讨会和下个月罗马的一个天体粒子和地下物理会议上首次看到这个项目。
Particle PhysicsAfter months of negotiations, on 8 May Tsinghua University in Beijing signed an agreement to build the deepest underground science facility in the world, edging out—by 100 meters or so—the Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory that the U.S. National Science Foundation may build in an abandoned mine in Lead, South Dakota. By placing sensors deep in the earth, physicists hope to reduce spurious signals from cosmic rays. China's subterranean aspirations have been circulating in Asia for months; the international community will get its first glimpse of the project at a dark-matter workshop in Shanghai on 15 June and at an astroparticle and underground physics conference in Rome next month.
