Poster Low-Energy Neutrinos (solar, reactor, supernova, and geo neutrinos and also nuclear astrophysics associated with these sources) Poster Session

Speaker

Ms Erin O'Sullivan (Queen's University)

Description

SNO+ is a liquid scintillator neutrino experiment which will be housed at the SNOLAB facility in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. The SNO+ experiment will probe many areas of neutrino physics including neutrinoless double beta decay, geo-neutrinos, reactor neutrinos, low energy solar neutrinos, and supernova neutrinos. This poster will focus on the sensitivity of SNO+ to solar neutrinos, specifically the pep neutrino. Implications of the pep measurement on light sterile neutrino models will be discussed.
