Abstract

SNO+ is a multi-purpose, low background liquid scintillator detector located in the SNOLAB facility. This talk will present our progress towards the main goal of SNO+: probing the mass and nature of neutrinos through a search for neutrino less double beta decay. By loading large amounts of natural tellurium into a homogeneous liquid scintillator detector SNO+ is pioneering an affordable and extendable approach to this rare decay search with the isotope 130Te. I will also discuss other physics reach of SNO+ including reactor, solar and supernova neutrinos and invisible nucleon decay. I will present the results for previous water phase operations and the current status of scintillator filling, tellurium plant preparation and background studies.
