This project aims to build an open-access cryogenic facility in the only deep-underground physics laboratory in the southern hemisphere. This facility, called the Cryogenic Experimental Laboratory for Low-background Australian Research (CELLAR), will provide extreme shielding from sources of noise, enabling ultra-precise experiments for fundamental science and emerging applications. The expected outcomes include a deeper understanding of astrophysics, alongside technological advances in emerging quantum technologies. CELLAR’s unique capabilities will attract strong international collaborations with multidisciplinary teams, educating the next generation of scientists and advancing the growth of Australian high-technology industries.

该项目的目的是在南半球唯一的深地下物理实验室建立一个开放式低温设施。该设施被称为澳大利亚低背景研究低温实验实验室（CELLAR），将提供对噪声源的极端屏蔽，为基础科学和新兴应用提供超精确实验。预期成果包括对天体物理学的更深入理解，以及新兴量子技术的技术进步。CELLAR的独特能力将吸引与多学科团队的强有力的国际合作，教育下一代科学家，推动澳大利亚高科技产业的发展。
