The SNO+ experiment: current status and future prospects — •Johann Dittmer and Kai Zuber — IKTP, TU Dresden, Deutschland
SNO+ is a large liquid scintillator based experiment reusing the infrastructure of the successful Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO). Located 2 km underground in a mine near Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, the detector consists of 12 m diameter acrylic vessel which is filled with 780 tonnes of a liquid scintillator. For the main goal, the search for the neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) of 130Te, the scintillator will be doped by 0.5% natural Tellurium. Since SNO+ was designed as a general purpose neutrino detector, it is also possible to measure neutrinos from different sources (reactor, geo, solar, Supernova, etc.). After a commissioning water phase which was ended in 2018, the scintillator fill was completed in April 2021.
In this talk the recent results and broad physics program will be presented.
SNO+ is supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG).
