The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory is a 1000t heavy water neutrino detector built in a 2 km deep underground nickel mine in the Canadian province of Ontario. With its about 8500 operational photomultiplier tubes and 40 long helium filled proportional counters, it is capable of differentiating the interactions of electron-type neutrinos from the total interactions of all types of neutrinos, thus giving insight into the phenomenon of neutrino flavor transformations. Two phases of the experiment, namely the D2O Phase and the Salt Phase, have been successfully completed giving precise measurements of the parameters associated with neutrino oscillations. With the deployment of the 40 neutral current detectors, the Observatory is now taking data in its final phase and is expected to make more precise measurements of the neutral current interactions of neutrinos in the pure heavy water. In this talk an overview of the SNO detector, operated with the newly installed neutron detectors, is presented and the physics results obtained so far are discussed.
