Neutrino Physics with JUNO — •Henning Rebber for the JUNO collaboration — Universität Hamburg, Institut für Experimentalphysik

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a next-generation neutrino experiment currently being built in the province Guangdong in the South of China. Below an overburden of ∼1900 m.w.e., 20 kt of liquid scintillator will be used to detect reactor antineutrinos from two power plants at a distance of ∼53 km. The primary goal is to determine the neutrino mass ordering from oscillation measurements. An energy resolution below 3 % @ 1 MeV is intended to reach at least 3 σ significance. Furthermore, JUNO can improve the precision on solar oscillation parameters to below 1 %, and allows for the measurement of neutrinos from Earth, Sun, and core-collapse supernovae. The start of data taking is planned for 2020. This talk will review the physics potential of JUNO, as well as the current status of design and construction. This work is funded by the DFG research unit JUNO.
