Sudbury Neutrino Observatory

From Wacklepedia - The Free Encyclopedia


The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory, or SNO for short, is located over a mile underground in an old mine near Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. The detector, made of heavy water, is designed to detect cosmic neutrinos, with the objectives of understanding the solar neutrino problem and neutrino mass.
