Description

This poster presented a pulse shape-based analysis of the proportional counter data from the third phase of the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory. It was shown that the neutron signal from the 3He-filled proportional counters could be maintained at about 75% for a suppression of 98% for the alpha background signal.
