>      ANNOUNCING THE CALL FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST (EOI)
>     FOR EXPERIMENTS AT THE NEW CANFRANC UNDERGROUND FACILITY
>
>
>The Canfranc Underground Laboratory (LSC) is a new facility for
>Underground Science. It is conceived as a Consortium of the Spanish
>Ministry of Education and Science, the Aragon Regional Goverment and
>the University of Zaragoza. Located under the Pyrenees' mountain "El
>Tobazo", the overburden at the site provides 2500 Meters Water
>Equivalent (MWE) of shielding from cosmic rays and offers a low
>background environment for the next generation of experiments exploring
>the frontiers of particle and astroparticle physics.
>
>Construction of the new facility will be finished in September 2005
>and the Laboratoy is expected to be available for installation of
>experiments during the first half of 2006.
>
>Fields of research being considered for LSC include (but are not
>limited to): Dark Matter Searches, Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay, Low
>Energy Solar Neutrinos, Nuclear Reactions of astrophysical interest,
>Low Counting Facility, Geophysics, Biophysics, ...
>
>Researchers interested in conducting experiments at LSC are
>encouraged to submit an "Expression of Interest" (EOI). A Scientific
>Policy Committee (SPC) has been formed with members: F. Avignone,
>J. Bernabeu (chair), E. Coccia, D. Espriu, E. Fernandez, C.
>Gonzalez-Garcia, R. Rebolo, M. Spiro and D. Wark. The EOI's should
>be submitted by a single contact person, or by a proto-collaboration.
>
>If you or your group are interested in submitting a proposal, you can
>do so via the web page
>
>                       www.unizar.es/lsc
>
>or via email to jose.bernabeu at uv.es with cc to espriu at ecm.ub.es. The
>Scientific Policy Committee will meet periodically to evaluate the
>proposals. A first meeting will take take place during TAUP'05
>September 10-15
