Topical Workshop on Low Radioactivity Techniques: LRT 2006

The main purpose of the 2nd Topical Workshop on Low Radioactivity Techniques was to share the knowledge on techniques and developments aiming at ultra-low level backgrounds. Extremely low backgrounds are needed for searches looking for rare events such as dark matter, neutrinoless double beta decay or solar neutrinos. Experts from all over the world have participated in this Workshop. The articles gathered in this proceeding are unique since they provide technical details on low radioactivity techniques developments. Researchers working in this field will find essential information in these articles.
