5 SNO+ PHYSICS GOALS Neutrinoless double beta decay scintillator loaded with 130 Te (0.3% loading 800 kg of 130 Te) Geo- and Reactor neutrinos Supernova neutrinos Solar neutrinos (pep, CNO, low 8 B) Nucleon decay, sterile neutrinos Multi-purpose detector 5
6 NEUTRINOLESS DOUBLE BETA DECAY Loading the scintillator with isotope Can compare with and without source in the same detector Can in principle investigate several isotopes with the same detector What is the best isotope? Originally decided on 150 Nd due to it s high Q-value and phase space (away from many backgrounds), were hoping for possibility to enrich In principle SNO+ can measure different isotopes (source in/out) 6
7 DOUBLE BETA ISOTOPES 35 known isotopes Decay candidate Q- value (MeV) 48 Ca 48 Ti % natural abundance 76 Ge 76 Se Ca 82 Kr Zr 96 Mo Mo 100 Ru Pd 110 Cd Cd 116 Sn Sn 124 Te Te 130 Xe Xe 136 Ba Nd 150 Sm
8 SNO+ WITH TELLURIUM Fall 2011: Biller and Chen initiate new investigation by subgroup of collaboration Early 2012: new loading techniques for Te in liquid scintillator was developed by Yeh at al. Detailed studies of purification, optics properties, backgrounds by the collaboration followed Also independent review and verification studies were completed March 2013 collaboration decides to focus on 130 Te as the double beta isotope to pursue 8
9 ADVANTAGES OF TELLURIUM 34% natural abundance 2νββ rate is low no inherent optical absorption lines High values of loading feasible (default 0.3%) Internal U/Th background can be actively suppressed by identifying 214 Bi- 214 Po alphas 9
10 LOADING SCINTILLATOR (BNL) Conventional Loading Method Carboxylate Organometallic Complex New loading technique (BNL): Dissolve telluric acid in water and add a few percent of this mixture to LAB using a surfactant. Clear and stable has been demonstrated for more than 1 year. ICP-MS determined U/Th content of telluric acid to be 2-3 times g/g U/Th purification factors of >400 in a single pass have been achieved. 10
11 PERCENT LOADING OF TELLURIUM 0.3%, 0.5%, 1%, 3%, 5% (from left to right)
12 SNO+ EXPECTED SPECTRUM Expected sensitivity is below 100 mev for 0.3% loading (800 kg) 2 years lifetime and fiducial volume cut at 3.5 m (20%) > 99.99% efficient 214 Bi tag, 97% efficient internal 208Tl tag Factor 50 reduction 212BiPo and negligible cosmogenic isotopes m 0ν2β = 200 mev assumed for this plot 12
13 SNO+ PROJECTED SENSITIVITY 13
14 SOLAR NEUTRINOS: PEP pep solar neutrino component is favorable: - single energy (1.442 MeV) and well predicted flux (1.1%) Probes the vacuum-matter transition region Can be measured during pure liquid scintillator phase Probability vs. Energy Simulated spectrum CNO pep 8 B 14

36 SOLAR NEUTRINOS: CNO 36
37 SOLAR NEUTRINOS Background studies in pure scintillator will be available years before to determine strategy to achieve background goals Radon daughters have accumulated on the surface of the AV over the last few years in a significant way. If these leach into the scintillator, the purification system has the capability to remove them. However, depending on the actual leach rate, that removal might be inefficient and the 210 Bi levels in the scintillator too high for a pep/cno solar neutrino measurement without further mitigation. Mitigation should include enhancing online scintillator purification, draining the detector and sanding the AV surface to remove radon daughters, or deploying a bag Double beta decay and low energy 8 B solar neutrino measurements are not effected by these backgrounds. 37
38 GEO- AND REACTOR NEUTRINOS 38
39 NUCLEON DECAY AND SN NEUTRINOS Water phase will allow to look for invisible nucleon decay modes by observation of characteristic gammas. SN neutrinos for a SN within our galaxy. See presentation by Belina Von Krosigk on Sunday Interesting physics by combining with results from HALO (a dedicated SN detector at SNOLAB) CC and NC combinations 39
40 COSMOGENICS Short and long living isotopes can be produced by cosmogenic activation of Tellurium detailed studies by V. Lozza Isotopes with value larger than 2 MeV and with half-life longer than 20 days have been considered as potential backgrounds. Productions rates were estimated using the program ACTIVIA and the neutron and proton flux parameterization a sea level from Armstrong and Gehrels. Low energy rand (E<200 MeV) used TENDL database for cross sections where available Purification factors needed have been determined based on exposure of one year at sea level. Purification at surface will be able to reduce induced cosmogenics by a factor larger than Further purification underground and cooling times on the order of month for isotopes produced during transport will also be needed. With these measures, cosmogenic isotopes are a negligible background contribution 40
