SNO+ experiment
The SNO+ experiment is a scientific project located in the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory in Canada. Its main goal is to study neutrinos, which are tiny, nearly massless particles that can pass through matter without interacting. The experiment aims to improve our understanding of neutrino properties and their role in the universe.
SNO+ uses a large tank filled with liquid scintillator to detect neutrinos. By observing the light produced when neutrinos interact with the liquid, researchers can gather data on different types of neutrinos, including those from the Sun and supernovae. This information helps scientists learn more about fundamental physics and the behavior of matter.
