Description

The SNO+ experiment consists of a detector filled with liquid scintillator, which creates light when particles pass through it. To increase the light yield, a second wavelength shifter, bis-MSB, is added to the scintillator. I will be going through the steps in achieving the deployment of the first batch of bis-MSB. I will also be talking about the process of developing a method to measure bis-MSB concentration.
