Equipment for the SNO+ Experiment

SNO+实验正在建设中，主要设施将于2013年初完成。加拿大SNO+集团在皇后，阿尔伯塔，劳伦，SNOLAB和TRIUMF大量参与制造和安装。在不久的将来，活动将转向探测器调试，加拿大的小组也将在数据分析中发挥主导作用。SNO+的大部分资本设备资金由CFI奖提供（安大略省和阿尔伯塔省以及皇后大学和阿尔伯塔大学提供实物捐助）。在CFI项目的建议书中，有一些所需的小型设备项目是没有预料到的。向NSERC提出的一个小的1类RTI（亚原子物理学）请求将确保SNO+项目不会错过2012财年的项目目标。该请求中的设备的主要科学目标是：世界领先的中微子物理学研究，低能太阳中微子和竞争性的无中微子双β衰变搜索。

The SNO+ experiment is under construction and major installations will be completed by early 2013. Canadian SNO+ groups at Queen's, Alberta, Laurentian, SNOLAB and TRIUMF are heavily involved in fabrication and installation. In the near future, activities will turn to detector commissioning and Canadian groups will also play a lead role in the data analysis. Most of the capital equipment funding for SNO+ is provided by the CFI award (with in-kind contributions from the Provinces of Ontario and Alberta, as well as from Queen's University and the University of Alberta). There are a few small equipment items that are needed that were not anticipated during the proposal of the CFI project. A small Category 1 RTI (Subatomic Physics) request to NSERC will ensure that the SNO+ project will not miss fiscal 2012 project targets. The main science objectives for the equipment in this request are: world-leading neutrino physics studies with low energy solar neutrinos and a competitive neutrinoless double beta decay search.
