Description
SNO+ is a kilo-tonne scale low background neutrino detector with the primary goal of searching for neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$). The experiment's target volume is currently filled with liquid scintillator, providing the scope for background characterisation as well as measurement of reactor, geo, and low-energy solar neutrinos. The scintillator will be loaded with natural tellurium in order to search for $0\nu\beta\beta$ in tellurium-130.
This talk will give an overview of the SNO+ experiment, the preparations for $0\nu\beta\beta$ search, and the projected sensitivity.
