Matra Gravitational and Geophysical Laboratory

Located at 88 m below the surface the MGGL laboratory has been established near Gyöngyösoroszi, Hungary in 2015, in the cavern system of an unused ore mine with the aim to measure and analyse the advantages of the underground installation of third generation gravitational wave detectors. Specialized instruments have been installed to measure seismic, infrasound, electromagnetic noise, and the variation of the cosmic muon flux.
