Description

SNO+ is a large, optical neutrino detector with a broad research program. The primary goal of SNO+ is to search for neutrinoless double beta decay using tellurium-loaded liquid scintillator. The experiment first took data while the detector was filled with the water but is now completely filled and collecting data with liquid scintillator. In this talk I will discuss the physics results from the SNO+ water phase, highlighting measurements of the $^{8}$B solar neutrinos with extremely low backgrounds and the first measurement of reactor neutrinos in a water Cherenkov detector. I will then detail the status and plans for the neutrino measurements during the liquid scintillator phase, focusing on solar and reactor neutrino sensitivities.
