Description

With the goal of searching for neutrinoless double beta decay in 130Te, the fundamentals of SNO+ and its success is built on chemistry. Notably, the removal of radiation-emitting impurities from chemicals to be deployed into the detector is vital for capturing quiet signals given off by the decay. Quality assurance through analytical chemistry allows us to keep track of progress made towards the final scintillator cocktail and whether it is up to standard.
