SNO+

46°28′30″N 81°12′04″W / 46.475°N 81.201°W / 46.475; -81.201

SNO+ is a physics experiment designed to search for neutrinoless double beta decay, with secondary measurements of proton–electron–proton (pep) solar neutrinos, geoneutrinos from radioactive decays in the Earth, and reactor neutrinos. It could also observe supernovae neutrinos if a supernova occurs in our galaxy. It is under construction (as of February 2017) using the underground equipment already installed for the former Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) experiment at SNOLAB.
