Abstract
A brief update on the status and future prospects of the SNO+ experiment. The aims and progress of three data taking phases are reviewed with a particular emphasis on the search for neutrinoless double beta decay in 130Te. A single/multi-site discrimination method based on timing distortion of scintillation pulses is presented with reference to background 60Co decay. A projected limit on the effective Majorana neutrino mass of mβ β < 38.7meV at 90% confidence is compared with existing measurements and the capabilities of an upgraded SNO+ detector are discussed.

Metadata are provided both in "article" format (very similar to INSPIRE) as this helps creating
very compact bibliographies which can be beneficial to authors and
