Optical Calibration
• The PMT angular response and attenuation lengths of the media are measured directly using laser+diffuser (“laserball”).
• Attenuation for D2O and H2O, as well as PMT angular response, also measured in-situ using radial scans of the laserball.
• Exhibit a change as a function of time after salt was added to the detector.

Neutron Response
• Use neutron calibration sources (252Cf and AmBe) to determine capture profile for neutrons.
• 252Cf decays by emission or spontaneous fission.
• Observe resulting cascade from neutron capture on 35Cl.
• Monte Carlo agrees well with observed distributions.

Oscillation Measurements
• SNO Only:
• Includes D/N and spectra from pure D2O, and new salt fluxes.
• SNO + Solar:
• Includes SK spectra, radiochemical experiments
• SNO + Solar + KamLAND:
• Reactor experiment information limits LMA region to one island (at 3 sigma)
• Maximal mixing rejected at 5.4 sigma

Salt Removal
• Salt is being removed using a reverse osmosis unit, which produces a concentrated brine.
• The target is for ~1ppm salt in the D2O after multiple (3-4) passes through the unit.
• Once the salt has been removed, SNO will move to the third phase of the experiment… First pass has been completed.
1950 out of 2000 kg of salt removed.

Conclusion• Mapping of the solar neutrino parameters moves into precision phase (new results from SK,
SAGE, GNO, and SNO).
• SNO’s salt measurement provides model-independent analysis of solar flux.
• Neutral current detectors soon to be installed, providing further precision on the solar flux.
• And be on the lookout for new analyses:

• Lots of exciting physics to come!
