The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory — •Sebastian Lorenz — for the JUNO collaboration — Universität Hamburg, Institut für Experimentalphysik, Luruper Chaussee 149, 22761 Hamburg

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a next-generation experiment using 20 kt of liquid scintillator for the detection of low-energy neutrinos. Its construction close to Kaiping in southern China will start next year, the beginning of data taking is expected for 2021. The primary experimental goal is the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy at 3 sigma significance by measuring the oscillation of electron antineutrinos from two nuclear power stations over a baseline of 53 km. In addition, the experiment will measure the solar neutrino mixing parameters and the atmospheric neutrino squared-mass splitting with a precision < 1%. Moreover, JUNO will be sensitive to neutrinos from Earth, the Sun, and supernovae, as well as proton decay.

This talk will review the status of the project and highlight important scientific objectives.
