Abstract Environmental radioactivity is a dominant background for rare decay search experiments, and it is difficult to completely remove such an impurity from detector vessels. We propose a scintillation balloon as the active vessel of a liquid scintillator in order to identify this undesirable radioactivity. According to our feasibility studies, the scintillation balloon enables the bismuth–polonium sequential decay to be tagged with a 99.7% efficiency, assuming a KamLAND-type (KamLAND = Kamioka Liquid scintillator AntiNeutrino Detector) liquid scintillator detector. This tagging of sequential decay using alpha rays from the polonium improves the sensitivity to neutrinoless double-beta decay while rejecting beta ray background from the bismuth.

The Status

SNO+ is a multi-purpose experiment whose main goal is to study the nature of the neutrino mass through the observation of neutrinoless double-beta decay. Detection of this rare process would indicate that neutrinos are elementary Majorana particles, proving that lepton number is not conserved. The SNO+ detector will operate in three distinct phases with different target materials: water, pure liquid scintillator and tellurium-loaded liquid scintillator. During the water phase, the external backgrounds were confirmed to be within expectation, new limits on specific channels of invisible nucleon decay modes were set and the Boron-8 solar neutrino flux was measured and confirmed to be compatible with previous measurements. With a completed water phase, SNO+ is moving towards its main Tellurium-loaded phase. Here, we report the status of the experiment, the recent results and the potential of SNO+ for neutrinoless double-beta decay search.
