The detector is located in the largest man made underground cavity in the world: a barrel 108 feet deep and. In 1971, astronauts from Apollo 16 trained in town before their lunar mission. By the 1980s, Sudbury was a place of innovation. And Canada soon became part of this quest. Japan, Italy, and the former Soviet Union all looked for a solution. McDonald, director of the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory, won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics. 312 More than a mile underground in an Ontario mine is the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory. SUDBURY’S THE PLACE The hunt was on for solutions to the solar neutrino problem. The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) results have provided revolutionary insight into the properties of neutrinos and the core of the sun. They also have demonstrated that neutrinos do have a mass, and for this major discovery Arthur B. The results from the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory have demonstrated that neutrinos do indeed change their form during their trip from the Sun to the Earth, thus putting an end to the debate. The frequency of neutrino detection is one per hour. The acrylic vessel is surrounded by a 17-metre geodesic dome equipped with 9,600 detectors that sense the presence of neutrinos. It is the largest underground opening ever excavated at two kilometres depth. This acrylic sphere was the first of its kind with a varying thickness of 5cm to 10cm and weighing 74,000 pounds. This highly engineered Reynolds Polymer acrylic sphere was used to understand the particle physics of neutrinos. Project, is located in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada underground at the S.N.O. The vessel is itself enclosed in 7,000 tonnes of ultra pure normal water, lodged in an immense cavity measuring 22 metres wide and 34 metres high (the equivalent of a 10-storey building). The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory, or S.N.O. The detector consists of 1,000 tonnes of ultra pure heavy water enclosed in a transparent plastic vessel measuring 12 metres across. Work began in 1990 and was completed in 1999. The United States joined the project, follow by the United Kingdom in 1989. Since Canada has an abundant reserve of heavy water, it was decided that the facility would operate as a heavy water detector. One year later, in 1984, an American researcher published a study that demonstrated the advantages of using heavy water (water in which the hydrogen atoms each have an extra neutron) as a neutrino detector. The underground site would shield the detector from microwaves in the background cosmic radiation, which would normally impede the detection of solar neutrinos. In 1983, Canadian researchers proposed the construction of an underground neutrino detector in an Ontario nickel mine belonging to the company Inco. In the early 1980’s, it was realized that the number of solar neutrinos detected by various laboratories were less than predicted by theoretical calculations. One of the major unresolved problems about our Sun is related to its production of neutrinos. We will describe the SNO detector, nearing completion deep underground in INCO's Creighton Mine near Sudbury, Canada and the physics potential of the detector. In fact, during your entire lifetime, only one or two neutrinos will ever come into contact with one of the atoms in your body. The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) is a second generation water erenkov detector designed to study neutrino astrophysics. Billions of neutrinos pass through the Sun, the Earth and your body every instant without being hindered. PROPOSAL TO BUILD A NEUTRINO OBSERVATORY IN SUDBURY, CANADA. The Sun, for example, emits 200 trillion trillion trillion neutrinos each second. Stars produce large amounts of neutrinos. So little, in fact, that matter is virtually transparent to them, and therein lies the difficulty in detecting neutrinos. Neutrinos are small elementary particles that are electrically neutral (that is, they have no electrical charge).
It is the product of a collaborative effort between Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The goal of the observatory is to detect and study neutrinos emitted by the Sun and other celestial objects. The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) was built as a water Cherenkov detector dedicated to investigate elementary particles called neutrinos.
The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory began operating in 1999 at a depth of 2,070 metres below the surface in the Creighton mine near Sudbury, Ontario.
