【 摘 要 】

SNO+ is a multi-purpose neutrino detector, which will primarily study neutrinoless double beta decay. Preparations are underway for the first phase of physics data-taking, with a water-filled detector. In terms of hardware, recent electronics repairs are described, as well as the programme which has shown to be ∼90% effective in repairing failed photomultiplier tubes. Testing of Data Quality has revealed some areas in the software that could be developed further and has provided useful cross-checks of trigger behaviour.
