Status and prospects of the JUNO experiment

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a multi-purpose neutrino experiment currently under construction in China. It is located 52.5 km away from two nuclear power plants in a newly constructed 700-m-deep underground laboratory. JUNO will be the largest liquid scintillator (LS) dete...

description The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a multi-purpose neutrino experiment currently under construction in China. It is located 52.5 km away from two nuclear power plants in a newly constructed 700-m-deep underground laboratory. JUNO will be the largest liquid scintillator (LS) detector in the world comprising 20 kt of ultra-pure LS filled in an acrylic sphere. Its main goal is to determine the neutrino mass ordering by measuring the energy spectrum of reactor neutrinos with highest accuracy. In addition, JUNO will cover precision measurements of oscillation parameters and several aspects in the field of astroparticle physics. Data taking will start in late 2024.
