Antineutrinos at SNO+
ORAL
Abstract
The SNO+ Experiment is a large liquid scintillator neutrino experiment located 2 km underground in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. SNO+ is able to study a broad range of physics topics including reactor antineutrinos and geoneutrinos. The first detection of reactor antineutrinos in liquid scintillator at SNO+, as well as the current status of an updated analysis with a fully filled detector and increased livetime are presented. The analyses constrain the neutrino oscillation parameters Δm221 and θ12, and will measure the flux of geoneutrinos at SNO+. Comparison of this result to previous measurements may help resolve tension between measurements of Δm221 from solar neutrinos and from reactor antineutrinos. Projections of the sensitivity to these parameters and to the geoneutrino signal with increased livetime are also presented.
