SNO+ Multipurpose Neutrino Detector

ORAL

Abstract

SNO+ proposes to fill the existing SNO detector with liquid scintillator. The unique location in SNOLAB, currently the worlds deepest international underground facility, will enable a variety of physics measurements from further studies of solar neutrinos (pep and CNO), to geo- and reactor neutrinos, to supernova neutrinos to the possibility of studying neutrinoless double beta decay. With the addition of $^{150}$Nd to the liquid scintillator SNO+ is capable of a competitive next-generation search for this rare process. The physics potential and experimental sensitivities will be discussed.
