Description

SNO+ is a 780-ton liquid scintillator detector that aims at measuring neutrinoless double beta decay of Te-130 using the underground facility at SNOLAB and the original SNO detector. In this talk, the SNO+ detector design and calibration hardware will be presented with an overview of the new physics goals and potential.
