The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory will study the solar-neutrino problem through the detection of charged-current (CC), neutral-current (NC), and elastic-scattering (ES) interactions of solar neutrinos with heavy water. This paper describes an investigation of detection method in which the thermalized neutrons are captured by (n, alpha) or (n, p) reactions on light nuclei. The resulting charge-particle products are uniquely detected by scintillators or proportional counters, completely separating this NC signal from the CC and ES Cerenkov signals, thus simplifying its measurement, improving its significance, and allowing observation of otherwise unobservable short-term NC fluctuations.
