Abstract

An array of 3He proportional counters was installed in the Sudbury 
Neutrino Observatory (SNO) to measure flux of neutrinos from the decay of 
8B in the solar p-p chain. The proportional counters detected thermalized 
neutrons liberated in the neutral-current interaction \nu + d -> n + p + 
\nu, and are called Neutral Current Detectors (NCD). The motivation for 
SNO and the NCDs, the NCD experiment and the current status of our 
analysis will be discussed.
