For physics frontier experiments, designed to investigate fundamental problems of the Standard Model like non-conservation of lepton number (through neutrino-less double beta decay) or existence of dark matter particles, the expected signals are very week (~1 ev/year). The detectors need to have large active masses and simultaneously the background rates, caused by natural radioactivity, must be pushed down to extremely low levels. Comprehensive research program on the background reduction techniques is therefore proposed. It is based on world-wide unique expertise of the PI and, if completed, it will allow for better understanding of the origin of the most relevant isotopes, and for easier, faster and more confident selection of materials and procedures for applications with the highest radio-purity demands (single-atom level). Finally, the presented project will have crucial impact on future large-scale (ton-scale) experiments in the field of nuclear and astro-particle physics. (Polish)

Pour les expériences à la frontière de la physique, conçues pour étudier les problèmes fondamentaux du modèle standard tels que la non-conservation du nombre de leptons (par la décomposition double bêta sans neutrino) ou l’existence de particules de matière noire, les signaux attendus sont très hebdomadaires (~1 ev/an). Les détecteurs doivent avoir de grandes masses actives et simultanément les taux de fond, causés par la radioactivité naturelle, doivent être repoussés à des niveaux extrêmement bas. Un programme de recherche complet sur les techniques de réduction de fond est donc proposé. Il repose sur l’expertise unique de l’IP à l’échelle mondiale et, s’il est achevé, il permettra de mieux comprendre l’origine des isotopes les plus pertinents et de sélectionner plus facilement, plus rapidement et avec plus de confiance les matériaux et les procédures pour les applications présentant les exigences les plus élevées en matière de radio-purité (niveau unique atome). Enfin, le projet présenté aura un impact crucial sur les futures expériences à grande échelle (à l’échelle des tonnes) dans le domaine de la physique nucléaire et des astroparticules. (French)
