Description

SNO+ is a multipurpose neutrino experiment at SNOLAB. Our main physics goal is searching for neutrinoless double beta decay in Tellurium-130. Much work had been done to transform a heavy water detector into a scintillator detector. We are currently commissioning the experiment with water and I will show some early data.
