SNO+ 130Te ( = 2527 keV) under construction

FWHM 240 keV (evaluation done on the basis of photon statistic in the scintillator [137])
MASS 163 kg of 130Te (with 0.3% of natural Te in the liquid scintillator and a fiducial volume of 20% [138])
BKG
 Rejection Prompt and delayed coincidences + fiducial volume (FV)
 Goal 3 × 10−4 counts/(keV·kg·yr)
2.0 × 10  yr
