SNO+ is a ~780-tonne liquid scintillator detector currently under construction at the SNOLAB facility in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. It is a multi-purpose neutrino experiment with a broad scientific program. While the primary focus is neutrinoless double-beta decay, neutrinos from a variety of other sources including the Earth, Sun, nuclear reactors and supernovae can also be studied to probe other phenomena. The scintillator to be used in SNO+ is linear alkylbenzene with ~2 g/L of PPO (2,5-diphenyloxazole). In the double beta-decay phase, this will be loaded with approximately 0.1% Nd by mass. In this talk, I will present the current status of the experiment, and describe work done at the University of Washington to characterize SNO+ scintillator.
