Description
The atmospheric neutrino flux represents a continuous source that can be exploited to infer properties about Cosmic Rays and neutrino oscillation physics. The JUNO observatory, a 20 kt liquid scintillator currently under construction in China, will be able to detect the atmospheric flux, given the large fiducial volume and the excellent energy resolution. In this study, a sample of Monte Carlo events has been used to evaluate the JUNO performances. The different time evolution of light inside the detector allows to discriminate the flavor of the primary neutrinos. A probabilistic unfolding method has been built, in order to infer the primary neutrino energy spectrum by looking at the detector output.
