Description

During this critical period of fine tuning and maintenance for the detector, the SNO+ group has been working towards multiple important hardware goals. Among them cleaning and analyzing residue in all the 200+ motherboards that connect to the 9000+ PMTs in the detector, and the development from scratch of an IR camera webpage connected to a Raspberry Pi IR Camera and 940nm LEDs, allowing users to view the calibration sources being deployed from anywhere in the world, and control the IR light input for visualization. Light that will, theoretically, not interfere with the detector PMTs.
