Scientific paper

The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) is an imaging Cherenkov detector using 1000 tonnes of heavy water and located 2 km underground in a working Nickel Mine near Sudbury, Canada. It is designed to detect ^8B solar neutrinos via the charged current (CC), neutral current (NC), and elastic scattering (ES) interactions. SNO is unique in that the CC interaction is sensitive only to the electron neutrinos whereas the NC and ES interactions have sensitivity to all active neutrino flavors. The ability to distinguish NC and CC interactions permits model independent tests of solar neutrino oscillations to be made. The SNO experiment has completed its pure D2O phase and is well into its second phase where salt has been added to the D2O to enhance the NC signal. Latest results from the pure D2O phase will be presented along with the physics conclusions that are implied. The current status of detector performance in the salt phase will also be discussed.
