Backgrounds to Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay in SNO+ Scintillator Fill

ORAL

Abstract

The SNO+ experiment will search for neutrinoless double beta decay using 780 tonnes of tellurium loaded liquid scintillator. The detector is currently full with pure scintillator which can be used to understand all backgrounds not associated with the tellurium loading. Two independent analyses have been performed throughout the scintillator fill to study backgrounds in the region of interest for the future neutrinoless double beta decay search. The results of these analyses are presented.
