Description
SNO+ will be a large-volume underground liquid scintillator neutrino
experiment at the SNOLAB facility, in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. The
physics reach of SNO+ is broad and covers many areas of neutrino physics
including neutrinoless double beta decay, geo-neutrinos, reactor and
low-energy solar neutrinos. To achieve the goals of the experiment, it is
imperative to understand the properties of the proposed linear alkyl
benzene (LAB) scintillator. This poster will describe laboratory
measurements designed to investigate: (1) the scintillation light timing
profiles due to alpha and beta-particle excitation of LAB, and the
alpha/beta discrimination capability based on these timing
distributions, (2) the electron energy scale linearity, and (3) ionization
quenching in SNO+ scintillator.
