Abstract
Upper limits on the ν¯e flux at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory have been set based on the ν¯e charged-current reaction on deuterium. The reaction produces a positron and two neutrons in coincidence. This distinctive signature allows a search with very low background for ν¯e’s from the Sun and other potential sources. Both differential and integral limits on the ν¯e flux have been placed in the energy range from 4–14.8 MeV. For an energy-independent νe→ν¯e conversion mechanism, the integral limit on the flux of solar ν¯e’s in the energy range from 4–14.8 MeV is found to be Φν¯e≤3.4×104  cm−2 s−1 (90% C.L.), which corresponds to 0.81% of the standard solar model B8 νe flux of 5.05×106  cm−2 s−1, and is consistent with the more sensitive limit from KamLAND in the 8.3–14.8 MeV range of 3.7×102  cm−2 s−1 (90% C.L.). In the energy range from 4–8 MeV, a search for ν¯e’s is conducted using coincidences in which only the two neutrons are detected. Assuming a ν¯e spectrum for the neutron induced fission of naturally occurring elements, a flux limit of Φν¯e≤2.0×106  cm−2 s−1 (90% C.L.) is obtained.
