Title:     Into the Depths: Lowering the Energy Threshold at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory

Abstract: The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory has successfully demonstrated the phenomenon of neutrino oscillation by observing both the total active solar neutrino flux, via the neutral current interaction on deuterium, and the pure electron neutrino component via the charged current interaction. An improved analysis has lowered the energy threshold, resulting in increased statistics and a greater sensitivity to possible distortions in the incident neutrino energy spectrum. This talk discusses the improvements made for this analysis and presents the final results, including the neutrino spectrum down to an effective electron kinetic energy of 3.5 MeV.

Stimulants available 15 minutes before the talk.
