A search for supernova neutrinos with the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory

The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) is an underground Cerenkov detector designed to detect neutrinos from astrophysical sources. The fiducial mass of the detector consists of 1000 tonnes of D₂0 , which provides sensitivity to all neutrino flavours. Since much of the energy released in the supe...
