Scientific paper

The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) is an underground heavy-water Cherenkov detector designed to detect 8B solar neutrinos through neutral (NC) and charged (CC) current interactions on deuterons and elastic scattering on electrons. The results from the pure D2O phase of the experiment confirmed solar model predictions and gave strong evidence for flavor change. In the second phase, 2 tonnes of NaCl were added to the heavy water, in order to enhance the detection of neutral current interactions. This allowed for precision, energy-unconstrained measurements of the solar neutrino flux that exclude maximal flavor mixing at a level of 5σ. The talk will focus both on the characterization of the detector response and the implications of the results on Neutrino Oscillation Physics.
