Evidence for Neutrino Oscillations from the Sudbury Neutrino
Observatory
The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) is a large volume heavy water
Cerenkov detector located 6800 feet udnerground in a mine near Sudbury,
Ontario. Designed to address the problem of the missing solar neutrinos,
this detector is unique due to its ability to simultaneously detect
electron-type neutrinos through a charged-current interaction and all
active neutrinos through a neutral-current interaction. In Phase II of
the experiment, 2 tonnes of salt were added into the heavy water to
enhance the detection of the neutral-current signal. This talk will focus
on the latest results obtained for the flux of solar neutrinos (reported
in nucl-ex/0309004). It will also briefly describe the recent upgrade to
the detector for Phase III.
