Determining the Low Energy Backgrounds at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory

Naturally occurring radioisotopes can produce neutrons by photodisintegration and Cherenkov events via beta/gamma decays. The techniques used to measure the radioisotopes in the heavy water target and light water shield in the third phase of SNO is discussed. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
