Description
The SNO+ detector is a multipurpose neutrino detector based at SNOLAB in the Creighton mine in Ontario, Canada. Due to the 6010m.w.e overburden at SNOLAB, SNO+ experiences an average of 3 high energy cosmogenic muons per hour passing through the 6m radius Acrylic Vessel. These muons can create spallation neutrons and long lived unstable isotopes that can present a background to the experiment’s solar neutrino searches. This poster will present the current status and future plans of tagging these muons, spallation neutrons, and long lived isotopes across both the current scintillator phase and the previous water phase of SNO+.
