First Neutral Current Results from the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory

The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) has determined the flavor content of the 8B solar neutrino flux by measuring the rates of charged current and neutral current neutrino interactions on deuterium. These results directly demonstrate neutrino flavor transformation at greater than 5σ significance. I will present details of the SNO analysis, and discuss implications of these new results for neutrino physics.
