Background Measurement Techniques and Sensitivity Studies for the SNO+ Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay Search
(2016-05-30)The control of radioactive backgrounds will be key in the search for neutrinoless double beta decay at the SNO+ experiment. Several aspects of the SNO+ back-grounds have been studied. The SNO+ tellurium purification process ... -
Calibration Hardware Research and Development for SNO+
(2014-06-02)The SNO+ experiment is a kilo-tonne scale liquid scintillator detector located at SNOLAB in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. As the successor to the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory, SNO+ will use linear alkylbenzene (LAB) as the ... -
Quality Assurance Testing, and Sensitivity Studies for the SNO+ Experment
For the SNO+ experiment's search for neutrinoless double beta decay, radioactive background reduction and understanding of detector systematics are key. Indirect background measurements and energy systematics have been ...
