The Standard Model teaches us that in the framework of such general
principles as local gauge symmetry, unication of weak and electromag-
netic interactions and Brout-Englert-Higgs spontaneous breaking of the elec-
troweak symmetry nature chooses the simplest possibilities. Two-component
left-handed massless neutrino elds play crucial role in the determination of
the charged current...

The SNO+ experiment, at the SNOLAB underground laboratory, consists of 780 Mg of linear alkylbenzene scintillator contained in the 12 m diameter SNO acrylic sphere and and observed by the SNO photomultiplier tubes. SNO+ will be loaded with tellurium, at approximately the 0.3% level to enable a sensitive search for neutrinoless double beta decay. This talk will detail the experiment, the...

SNO+ is a multi-purpose neutrino physics experiment investigating neutrinoless double beta decay and neutrino oscillations. The SNO+ detector consists of a 12m diameter acrylic vessel (AV), surrounded by ultra-pure water and approximately 9500 photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) which are positioned on a stainless steel PMT support structure (PSUP). The acrylic vessel will be filled with liquid...

Double-beta (\beta\beta) decay measurements are a class of nuclear studies with the objective of detecting the neutrinoless (0\nu) decay variants. Detection of a 0\nu\beta\beta decay would prove the neutrino to be massive and to be its own anti-particle (i.e., a Majorana particle). A key parameter in the detection of the 0\nu\beta\beta decay is the energy, or Q-value, of the decay.
