     * 12 HPGe detectors, details in attached file {{:detectors_lsm.pdf|(pdf)}}.  The detectors are 100% dedicated to use by SuperNEMO, EDELWEISS and other experiments situated in Modane.  However, Mafalda and Hellaz may be able to do work at the level of 5-10% time for other in the future.     * 12 HPGe detectors, details in attached file {{:detectors_lsm.pdf|(pdf)}}.  The detectors are 100% dedicated to use by SuperNEMO, EDELWEISS and other experiments situated in Modane.  However, Mafalda and Hellaz may be able to do work at the level of 5-10% time for other in the future.
 +  * **Laboratario Subterraneo de Canfranc** (Iulian Bandac, Alessandro Bettini and Yolanda Labarta)
 +    * 5 HPGe detectors installed and operational.
 +    * 2 HPGe detectors to be installed by summer 2013. 
 +    * Details of the detectors in attached file {{hpge_canfranc.pdf|(pdf)}}.  The detectors are currently in 100% usage by LSC experiments. However, they are interested in working with experiments outside of LSC.  
 +    * All detectors are ~2kg, p-type close-end coaxial produced by Canberra.  Each detector has a shield consisting of 5 cm or 10cm copper and 20 cm of very low activity lead.  Nitrogen gas is flushed inside a methacrylate box to avoid airborne radion.  The radon level inside the lab is ~ 80 Bq/m^3.
