Description
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a 20-kiloton liquid scintillator (LS) detector under commissioning in south China. It will precisely measure the oscillation of reactor antineutrinos from two commercial nuclear power plants 53km away, with the goal of determining the neutrino mass ordering and measuring three oscillation parameters to sub-percent precisions. JUNO is now already the world's largest liquid scintillator detector with half of its volume filled, making it one of the best observatories for natural neutrinos from terrestrial, solar, galactic and extragalactic sources. This talk will discuss the construction, commissioning and prospect of JUNO.
