Description
SNO+ is a multipurpose liquid scintillator neutrino detector located 2 km underground in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. SNO+ has a rich program of neutrino physics including the study of reactor antineutrinos and geoneutrinos. We present the first detection of reactor antineutrinos in liquid scintillator at SNO+. Using 130 days of data, we extract constraints on neutrino oscillation parameters $\Delta m_{21}^{2}$ and $\theta_{12}$. Projections of the sensitivity to these parameters with increased livetime are presented. We also report the first use of time-based event classification to identify $^{13}$C$(\alpha,n)^{16}$O events, the primary background in this oscillation analysis.
