The Soudan Mine was also home to the MINOS and CDMS detectors.
History
Soudan 2 was the successor to the Soudan 1, a similar 30 ton detector also intended to search for proton decay.
The excavation for Soudan 2 was done in 1984–1985. Installation was started in 1986 and was completed in 1993. The experiment was run from April 1989 to June 2001, beginning with a partial detector of 275 tons. It was disassembled in 2005 to make room for further low background physics experiments, including MINOS.
