Recent Results from the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory
نویسنده
چکیده
The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) measures both the flux of the electron-type neutrinos and the total flux of all active flavours of neutrinos originating from the Sun. A model-independent test of neutrino flavour transformation was performed by comparing these two measurements. In 2002, this flavour transformation was definitively demonstrated. In this talk, results from these measurements and the current status of the SNO detector are presented.

متن کاملNeutrinos in Stochastic Media: From Sun to Core-Collapse Supernovae
Recent work on neutrino propagation in stochastic media and its implications for the Sun and corecollapse supernovae are reviewed. It is shown that recent results from Sudbury Neutrino Observatory and SuperKamiokande combined with a best global fit value of δm2 = 5× 10−5 eV2 and tan2 θ = 0.3 rule out solar electron density fluctuations of a few percent or more. It is argued that solar neutrino ...
متن کاملFirst Results from the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory
The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) is a water imaging Čerenkov detector. Utilising a 1 kilotonne ultra-pure D2O target, it is the first experiment to have equal sensitivity to all flavours of active neutrinos. This allows a solar-model independent test of the neutrino oscillation hypothesis to be made. Solar neutrinos from the decay of B have been detected at SNO by the charged-current (CC)...
متن کاملSolving the Solar Neutrino Problem 2 Km Underground — the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory
The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) is capable of measuring simultaneously the flux of electron-type neutrinos and the total flux of all active flavours of neu-trinos originating from the Sun. A model-independent test of neutrino flavour transformation was performed by comparing these two measurements. Assuming an undistorted neutrino energy spectrum, this transformation has been definitivel...
