โฆ Synopsis
The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) is a second generation water cerenkov detector designed to study neutrino astrophysics.
We will describe the SNO detector, nearing completion deep underground in INCO's Creighton Mine neaS Sudbury, Canada and the physics potential of the detector.

The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory consists of a 1 kiloton heavy water Cherenkov detector able to detect and reconstruct high-energy muons created from cosmic ray showers and atmospheric neutrino interactions. By measuring the flux of through-going muons as a function of zenith angle, the SNO experime
The third and last phase of the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) used a technique independent of previous methods, to measure the rate of neutral-current interactions in heavy water and determine precisely the total active 8 B solar neutrino flux. The total flux obtained is 5.54 +0.33 -0.31 (stat)
