News from the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory

The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) has now completed neutrino detection with 1,000 tonnes of heavy water situated 2,000 meters underground in INCO's Creighton Mine near Sudbury, Ontario. During the first two phases of the experiment, SNO showed that neutrinos change flavour on their way to earth and accurately measured the solar neutrino oscillation parameters. Besides this, SNO was also able to use the data of these first two phases for other analyses. In particular, it recently set a limit on the Solar hep Reaction and the diffuse Supernova background. The third and final phase of operation uses an array of neutron detectors to independently observe the Neutral Current reaction of solar neutrinos on deuterium. Data analysis of this phase is in progress. In this paper, I discuss the latest results of the first two phases of the SNO experiment and report on the operation and calibration of the SNO detector during the it's final phase.
