Description
This article summarizes measurements of the 8B decay rate in the sun and neutrino oscillation parameters made with the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO), and discusses prospects for future improvements to the analysis. These improvements include a particle identification analysis for the proportional counter data obtained from the final phase of data taking, which should significantly improve the signal to noise ratio for that phase. Other analyses discussed include searches for high frequency temporal fluctuations in the solar neutrino signal, and supernovae with no optical signal, both of which resulted in a null result.
