Low-energy-threshold analysis of the Phase I and Phase II data sets of the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory

This paper presents the ultimate analysis of the data of the first two phases of the SNO experiment, achieving the lowest energy threshold solar neutrino analysis for a water Cherenkov experiment. This required an excellent understanding over the low-energy radioactive internal backgrounds. Peeters contributed to this through analysis of external measurements, as well as using the physics data to assess these. In addition, Peeters influenced the understanding of the detector, which was essential for lowering the energy threshold, by measurements of the optical response and analysis of the neutron calibration.
