<!-- The 2:1 flags (UK & former colonies) are drawn with a slightly smaller vertical height than the 3:2 flags (most other countries) to balance their overall visual size. The white-field flags (Japan, Korea) get an additional pixel because the outline subtracts from their apparent size. Finland's flag is 18:11 = 1.64 ≈ 5:3 is grouped with the 3:2 flags.-->

== Description ==
Basic navbox for underground physics laboratories.  Country, abbreviated name, access (tunnel or shaft), and equivalent shielding.  (Depth is not well defined for ones under non-flat mountains.)  Under construction ''in italics''.

In terms of size and general significance of laboratories, there are clearly five "large" labs of particular significance: CJPL, Kamioka, LNGS, SNOLAB, and SURF.  Is it worth grouping or highlighting those?

These are the large, multi-experiment laboratories, which in practice means particle physics. Omitted are:

* Laboratories used only for waste disposal research (mostly because there are lots, but only one has an article on Wikipedia):
** [[Meuse/Haute Marne Underground Research Laboratory]] (France)
** [http://www.ctta.org/FileUpload/ita/2005/pdf/EM-2.43.pdf Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory] (Japan).
** [http://bcp-www.jaea.go.jp/english/04/horonobe/ Horonobe Underground Research Center] (Japan).
** [http://www.brandonsun.com/breaking-news/whiteshell-labs-closes-underground-facility-forever-111511344.html?viewAllComments=y Whiteshell underground research laboratory] (Canada)
** Other labs listed in http://www.oecd-nea.org/rwm/reports/2013/78122-rwm-url-brochure.pdf
* Shallow one-experiment "laboratories" for man-made neutrino oscillation studies:
** [[Aberdeen Tunnel Underground Laboratory]] (Hong Kong)
** [[Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment]]
** [[Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory]]
** [[Reactor Experiment for Neutrino Oscillation]]
** [[NOνA]] far detector
** etc.
* Planned or closed laboratories which don't have wikipedia articles already:
** Sieroszowice Underground Laboratory (SUNLAB):  {{coord|51|33|21|N|16|2|30|E|type:landmark_region:PL-DS}} (Poland).  A [http://laguna.ethz.ch/laguna-eu/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=86:sunlab-poland&catid=4&Itemid=7 candidate to host LAGUNA] but currently just planned, AFAICT.
** [http://lpd.kinr.kiev.ua/LPD_SUL.htm Solotvina Underground Laboratory] (Ukraine) Seems to be defunct.  (Located in [[Solotvyno]].)
* Closed laboratories:
** [[Particle experiments at Kolar Gold Fields]].  This used to be listed <del>struck out</del>, but after discussion about the ugliness, got removed.
* Subsurface physics experiments that don't have accessible lab space.
** [[IceCube]]
** [[ANTARES (telescope)]]

On the other hand, if a laboratory is significant enough, it's included as a redlink.  Currently, that's [[Oto Cosmo Observatory]], [[Laboratoire Souterrain à Bas Bruit]] and the [[Astroparticle Research Facility]] under construction in Korea.

One lab with only brief mention in another article:
* [[Kimballton Underground Research Facility]] has no article, but is linked to [[Kimballton, Virginia]], which mentions the laboratory in passing and has a link to its web page.

Note that nobody [[WP:OWN]]s this template; these omission decisions are subject to change by other editors.  If you disagree strongly enough, [[WP:Be Bold]].  (Just please update the documentation to explain the new rules!)

Three useful surveys of current and planned deep underground laboratories:
