Low-energy-threshold analysis of the Phase I and Phase II data sets of the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory
The analysis for this paper builds on the techniques Wilson developed for her thesis work. She developed the
likelihood fitting software and pioneered the technique of floating detector systematics in the fit which
allowed a substantial reduction in the contribution of systematic uncertainties to the final
result. She also wrote the initial software for extracting the solar neutrino energy spectrum and
performed the relevant bias studies. Additionally, Wilson contributed to the data collection and calibration
programme throughout the experiment and was heavily involved in efforts to assess and improve data quality.
