Abstract
We calculate the range of predicted values for 10 quantities that will be measured by the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO). We use neutrino oscillation solutions (vacuum and MSW; active and sterile neutrinos) that are globally consistent with all available neutrino data and estimate realistic theoretical and experimental uncertainties. The neutral current to charged current double ratio is predicted to be more than 9 sigma from the no-oscillation solution for all of the currently favored neutrino oscillation solutions. The best-fit oscillation solutions predict a CC day-night rate difference between -0.1% and +12.5% and a NC day-night difference < 0.01%. We present also the predicted range for the first and the second moments of the charged current electron recoil energy spectrum, the charged current, the neutral current, and the neutrino-electron scattering rates, the seasonal dependence of the charged current rate, and the double ratio of neutrino-electron scattering rate to charged current rate.
