Energy calibration of the Sudbury neutrino observatory using monoenergetic gamma-ray sources

The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) is a new 1000-tonne D₂O Cerenkov detector. It will shed some light on the long-standing solar neutrino problem by detecting all flavours of neutrinos originating from the Sun. A high energy gamma-ray source is needed to calibrate SNO beyond the ⁸B solar neut...
