abstract
The SNO+ experiment is located 2 km underground at SNOLAB in Sudbury, Canada. A low background search for neutrinoless double beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay will be conducted using 780 tonnes of liquid scintillator loaded with 3.9 tonnes of natural tellurium, corresponding to 1.3 tonnes of $^{130}$Te. This paper provides a general overview of the SNO+ experiment, including detector design, construction of process plants, commissioning efforts, electronics upgrades, data acquisition systems, and calibration techniques. The SNO+ collaboration is reusing the acrylic vessel, PMT array, and electronics of the SNO detector, having made a number of experimental upgrades and essential adaptations for use with the liquid scintillator. With low backgrounds and a low energy threshold, the SNO+ collaboration will also pursue a rich physics program beyond the search for $0\nu\beta\beta$ decay, including studies of geo- and reactor antineutrinos, supernova and solar neutrinos, and exotic physics such as the search for invisible nucleon decay. The SNO+ approach to the search for $0\nu\beta\beta$ decay is scalable: a future phase with high $^{130}$Te-loading is envisioned to probe an effective Majorana mass in the inverted mass ordering region.

Measurement of reactor antineutrino oscillations with 1.46 ktonne-years of data at SNO+
SNO+ measures Δm²₂₁ = (7.93^{+0.21}_{-0.24})×10⁻⁵ eV² from 1.46 ktonne-years of reactor antineutrino data and detects geoneutrinos at 49^{+13}_{-12} TNU.

Detection horizon for the neutrino burst from the stellar helium flash
The helium flash produces a neutrino burst with a 1.7 MeV line detectable up to almost 3 pc in future facilities, but asteroseismology remains the practical probe for now.

Development of an early warning method incorporating pre-supernova neutrino light curves
A light-curve-based likelihood alarm for pre-supernova neutrinos, with the collapse time profiled out, warns hours earlier than rate-only alarms in simulated KamLAND and Super-Kamiokande data at the same false-alarm rate.

Disordered But Rhythmic: the role of intrinsic protein disorder in eukaryotic circadian timing
The abstract reviews protein disorder in circadian timing, but the attached full text is a different arXiv paper (2508.18491) on supernova axions, making the submission internally inconsistent.
