The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory — •Florian Kiel for the JUNO collaboration — III. Physikalisches Institut B, RWTH Aachen University

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a next-generation neutrino experiment currently under construction in southern China, close to Kaiping. Below an overburden of  1900 m.w.e., the liquid scintillator detector with a target volume of 20kT will be used to measure reactor antineutrinos from two power plants at a distance of  53 km. The primary goal is the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy from the reactor neutrino energy spectrum with better that 3σ significance. It is therefore necessary to reach an unprecedented energy resolution of 3% @ 1 MeV. Furthermore, JUNO can improve the precision on solar oscillation parameters to below 1% and allows the measurement of geo-neutrinos, supernova-neutrinos and atmospheric neutrinos. The start of data taking is planed for 2020. This talk will review the status of the project and physics potential.
