The Scintillating Bubble Chamber (SBC) collaboration is constructing a 10~kg liquid argon (LAr) bubble chamber at SNOLAB called SBC-SNOLAB having the main objective of detecting dark matter. One of the most novel aspects of SBC-SNOLAB is…
A liquid scintillator consisting of linear alkylbenzene as the solvent and 2,5-diphenyloxazole as the fluor was developed for the SNO+ experiment. This mixture was chosen as it is compatible with acrylic and has a competitive light yield to…
Liquid-scintillator-based detectors are a robust technology that scales well to large volumes. For this reason, they are attractive for experiments searching for neutrinoless double-beta decay. A combination of improved photo-detection…
For several decades now, scintillator detectors have found a wide range of applications in particle physics, including neutrino detection, the search for dark matter and even medical imaging. These detectors so far have strongly relied on…

Insofar as the detection of anti-neutrinos from nuclear reactors is concerned, the SNO+ detector -- a 1 kilo-tonne liquid scintillator detector that inherits the experimental infrastructure from the recently finished SNO experiment -- is…
The SNO+ neutrino detector is an acrylic sphere of radius 6 m filled with liquid scintillator, immersed in a water-filled underground cavern, with a thin vertical neck (radius 0.75 m) extending upwards about 7 m from the sphere to a…
Neutrinos carry most of the energy released by a core-collapse supernova. SNOLAB has two neutrino-capable detectors, SNO+ and HALO, that have complementary neutrino flavour sensitivities. SNOLAB is also host to existing facilities, or plans…
