SNO+: A New Kilotonne Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Experiment*, Alex Wright , Queen's University — We are proposing a new large liquid scintillator neutrino experiment, called SNO+, which will be a part of the SNOLAB underground science facility. SNO+ will be located in the cavity that currently houses the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory, and will incorporate much of the existing SNO detector. In this talk, I will review the exciting physics potential of SNO+, which includes the unique ability to detect the pep and CNO solar neutrinos, the potential for an improved measurement of the geo-neutrino flux, excellent supernova monitoring capability, and a possible extension to a competitive search for neutrino less double beta decay. I will also discuss the progress being made in surmounting some of the project's technical challenges.
