Purification of liquid scintillator and Monte Carlo simulations of relevant internal backgrounds in SNO+

The SNO+ experiment has begun research and development to engineer replacing the heavy water in the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory with liquid scintillator in order to study low energy solar neutrinos, double beta decay, and many other exciting physics topics. Experimentation and simulation have been...
