Samantha Kuula Interactions May 2012 What is SNOLAB? SNOLAB is a deep underground science research facility, located at 2070m depth in the Vale Creighton mine Operates as a clean-room throughout, and shields sensitive detectors from background radiations by great depth, high purity detectors and shields SNOLAB is unique as the deepest, cleanest laboratory of its kind in the world.

Samantha Kuula Interactions May 2012 The Science Programme Deep underground science addresses some of the most fundamental and high scientific priority questions in contemporary physics: What is the dark matter that pervades and shapes our universe? How have neutrinos shaped the evolution of the universe and the synthesis of heavy elements? How did the universe begin and what caused the asymmetry that led to a matter dominated universe? SNOLAB has a portfolio of projects of varying scale covering R&D, prototyping and exploitation Location of choice - available space rapidly allocated Larger SNOLAB projects are long-term and internationally collaborative: 10‘s $M investment over a decade of construction and operation Deep underground science addresses some of the most fundamental and high scientific priority questions in contemporary physics: What is the dark matter that pervades and shapes our universe?

Samantha Kuula Interactions May 2012 International and Canadian Context SNOLAB is one of a small number of international science facilities, all making important contributions to understanding the Universe e.g. at CERN, researchers are hoping to create dark matter particles for the first time since the Big Bang; at SNOLAB we hope to observe those created in the Big Bang itself. SNOLAB interlinks to the Perimeter Institute and TRIUMF, providing complementary skills and capabilities.

Samantha Kuula Interactions May 2012 Science Impact The initial SNO results were extremely high impact Cited as among the top two breakthroughs of 2011 (Science) Three top cited nuclear physics experimental papers Multiple awards to the SNO team (Polyani, Herzberg, Vogt, Henry Marshal Tory, Order of Ontario) SNOLAB science programme nascent and under development, but already: COUPP and PICASSO have posted world-leading results in spin dark matter searches (Munich 2011) US Marx review on underground reviewed SNOLAB as the only other location of choice for the US programme SNOLAB team and researchers are frequent plenary speakers at International conferences The initial SNO results were extremely high impact Cited as among the top two breakthroughs of 2011 (Science) Three top cited nuclear physics experimental papers Multiple awards to the SNO team (Polyani, Herzberg, Vogt, Henry Marshal Tory, Order of Ontario) SNOLAB science programme nascent and under development, but already: COUPP and PICASSO have posted world-leading results in spin dark matter searches (Munich 2011) US Marx review on underground reviewed SNOLAB as the only other location of choice for the US programme SNOLAB team and researchers are frequent plenary speakers at International conferences

Samantha Kuula Interactions May 2012 Funding Model Capital investment was $85M in SNO and $65M in SNOLAB; Operations are ~$8M/year cash SNOLAB experiments derive their own additional funding outside this capital envelope Support for facility and experiments have been derived from Provincial, Federal, University and industrial partners, and international sources Significant in-kind support has been provided by Vale (and INCO previously) SNOLAB has ~60 on-site staff, with a research base of >250 researchers from 52 institutions across 6 countries Capital investment was $85M in SNO and $65M in SNOLAB; Operations are ~$8M/year cash SNOLAB experiments derive their own additional funding outside this capital envelope Support for facility and experiments have been derived from Provincial, Federal, University and industrial partners, and international sources Significant in-kind support has been provided by Vale (and INCO previously) SNOLAB has ~60 on-site staff, with a research base of >250 researchers from 52 institutions across 6 countries

Samantha Kuula Interactions May 2012 Economic Impact SNOLAB delivers economic impact through: Direct and indirect job creation to develop and operate the facility, and to construct and operate the experiments Investment attraction from international experiments, with additional anticipated growth Technology development and innovation, providing a framework for our research base Commercialisation through Universities and AAPS Enabling strategic industries (resource/mining) Development of Highly Qualified Personnel Inspiration of the public and next generation innovators The following are from a KPMG economic impact assessment, which enumerate these statements SNOLAB delivers economic impact through: Direct and indirect job creation to develop and operate the facility, and to construct and operate the experiments Investment attraction from international experiments, with additional anticipated growth Technology development and innovation, providing a framework for our research base Commercialisation through Universities and AAPS Enabling strategic industries (resource/mining) Development of Highly Qualified Personnel Inspiration of the public and next generation innovators The following are from a KPMG economic impact assessment, which enumerate these statements
