Scientific paper

The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) is a real-time solar neutrino detector being constructed to study the properties of neutrinos and to help resolve the solar neutrino problem. The detector, 6800 ft underground, consists of 1000 tonnes of heavy water surrounded by nearly 9500 photomultiplier tubes of 20 cm diameter. The electronics and data-acquisition system must be able to handle modest background rates in excess of 1 kHz and burst rates in excess of 1 MHz. An additional goal is to keep the detector acquiring data continuously throughout the life of the experiment, in case of a possible galactic supernova occurrence. The DAQ system is written in an object-oriented programming language, supports the VME bus, and utilizes VME embedded processors. An overview of the SNO detector, electronics and DAQ system will be presented.
