The antineutrino charged current interaction on deuterium barνe + d arrow e^+ + n + n has interesting possiblities in the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO). If the outgoing positron is sufficiently energetic, it may be detected by its Cherenkov light. Also the two neutrons may separately trigger the detector when they are captured on deuterium or chlorine in the detector. Thus the interactions may be easily identified by two- and three-fold coincidences of events within a few neutron capture times. This paper will consider the rate of events expected from various sources, and compare these to the rate of false candidates one would expect from accidental coincidences.
