SNO+: Results and Prospects

ORAL

Abstract

SNO+ is a multipurpose neutrino experiment located 2 km underground in a Canadian mine. The primary goal is a high-sensitivity search for neutrinoless double beta decay using $^{130}$Te-loaded scintillator, but SNO+ can also measure reactor, solar, geo, and supernova neutrinos. Having completed data acquisition with a water target, SNO+ has measured the flux of $^{8}$B solar neutrinos with low backgrounds and set world-leading limits on invisible (di)nucleon decays. These analyses are being updated with data that provide more than twice the livetime and have lower rates of radioactive backgrounds. SNO+ is currently filling with scintillator (LAB+PPO) and Te loading is scheduled to begin later this year.
