SUMMARY:Neutrino Physics Beyond SNO\, Physics Department Colloquium\, 
 Mark Chen\, Queen's University
DESCRIPTION:A follow-up experiment to the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory
  is being developed\, called SNO+.  With a liquid scintillator replaci
 ng the heavy water\, SNO+ will examine neutrino phenomena at lower ene
 rgies than SNO.  Physics goals include: detecting the CNO solar neutri
 nos and using them to resolve a new puzzle related to solar chemical c
 omposition\; precision measurements of the survival probability of pep
  solar neutrinos at the transition energy between vacuum- and matter-d
 ominated oscillation\; and measuring the flux of geo-neutrinos in a de
 tector site where the local geology has been extensively characterized
 \, enabling the measurement to address fundamental questions in geosci
 ence.  We also plan to add neodymium to the SNO+ liquid scintillator i
 n order to perform a competitive next-generation 0-nu double beta deca
 y search.  The physics capabilities and the status of the experiment w
 ill be presented.
