The ordering of the neutrino masses is one of the fundamental open questions in the field of neutrino physics. The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a multipurpose liquid scintillator-based experiment with a target mass of 20 kt. It aims to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy with at least 3σ significance, through a measurement of the oscillation pattern of reactor neutrinos over 53 km baseline.
The sensitivity of JUNO to the mass ordering could be enhanced through the atmospheric neutrino channel. As one of the largest LS detectors, JUNO might be able to measure with high precision the atmospheric neutrino events and their oscillation parameters at MeV-scale as well at GeV-scale. This work represents the current methods used in the reconstruction of atmospheric neutrinos with JUNO.
