Description
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a 20-kton liquid scintillator detector currently under construction 700 m underground in southern China. The detector is located 53 km from the Taishan and Yangjiang nuclear power plants and will simultaneously probe solar ($\Delta m^2_{21}$) and atmospheric ($\Delta m^2_{31}$) oscillations using reactor antineutrinos. The primary goals of the experiment are the determination of the Neutrino Mass Ordering (NMO) and the precision measurement of the neutrino oscillation parameters $\Delta m^2_{21}$, $\Delta m^2_{21}$, and $\sin^{2}\theta_{12}$. In order to determine NMO with ~3$\sigma$ significance using around 6 years of data, a high energy resolution ($\leq$ 3% at 1 MeV) and low energy scale uncertainty (< 1%) are needed. This talk will discuss the current status of JUNO and its various neutrino oscillation physics prospects.
