Current Status and Future Prospects of the SNO+ Experiment

Figure 7

Expected solar neutrino fluxes as detected by SNO+ and the corresponding main backgrounds. Backgrounds levels are assumed to be equal to those initially achieved by Borexino [20, 25] (see text). Events are shown for the LAB-PPO scintillator, 400 Nhits/MeV light yield, and a fiducial volume cut of 5.5 m. A 95% reduction is applied to theBi-Po backgrounds via delayed coincidence tagging, and a 95% reduction on thePo and the remainingPo events via alpha tagging.
