The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is the largest liquid scintillator detector in the world and it is under construction in Jiangmen city in South China. The JUNO Central Detector is an acrylic spherical vessel with an inner diameter of 35.4 m, filled with 20 kton liquid scintillator. The entire scintillator volume is monitored by approximately 17,600 20-inch and 25,600...
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) aims to determine neutrino mass ordering with a 20-kton liquid scintillator detector. To enhance its sensitivity, JUNO will combine the measurements of low-energy reactor antineutrinos and atmospheric neutrinos in the GeV region. The sensitivity from the atmospheric neutrino measurement relies on the performance of neutrino flavor...
JUNO will be the world’s largest liquid scintillator detector for studying neutrino physics and exploring new physics. The primary physics goal of JUNO is to measure neutrino mass ordering (NMO) with reactor neutrinos, which requires a high energy precision. The goal and challenge of the event reconstruction is to reach the accuracy limit of sophisticate detectors. This talk introduces the...
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a next-generation neutrino experiment currently under construction in southern China. Its primary objective is to determine the neutrino mass ordering (NMO). While reactor neutrinos are the main source of sensitivity to NMO at JUNO, atmospheric neutrino oscillations can provide independent sensitivity, and enhance its overall sensitivity...
As an underground multi-purpose neutrino detector with 20 kton liquid scintillator, Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) currently under construction in southern China has great potential to detect the nucleon decay, which now remains as a key signature of Grand Unified Theories. The nucleon decay provides a direct observation of baryon number violation process that can contribute...
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a multi-purpose neutrino experiment currently being constructed in China. Its main physics goal is to determine the neutrino mass ordering and achieve precision measurements of oscillation parameters by utilizing a liquid scintillator detector with a target mass of 20 kilotons. JUNO is capable of recording a significant amount of data on...
In Long baseline neutrino experiment, systematics uncertainties on oscillation parameters critically depend on our knowledge of neutrino interactions. It is therefore crucial to precisely measure neutrino-nucleus cross sections at the near detector to improve our constraints on the far detector observations, as well as enhancing our modelling of neutrino-nucleus interaction. For this reason,...
The search for gamma ray counterparts of IceCube neutrino events is crucial for understanding the role of blazars as candidate sources of cosmic neutrinos. We have searched the counterparts for IceCube neutrinos events in the interval from 2018 to 2020 in the AGILE gamma-ray satellite public archive.
We present the candidate sources in the regions centered on the detected neutrinos and their...
The IceCube Upgrade, to be installed in 2026, is a low-energy extension of the DeepCore detector part of the IceCube in-ice Cherenkov neutrino telescope at the South Pole. The Upgrade will improve the detection of neutrino interactions in the GeV range by deploying nearly 700 new multi-PMT digital optical modules in a high-density configuration. This allows for more precise measurements of...
It has been common practice to select for muons that start inside a neutrino detector in order to reject atmospheric backgrounds in lower energy neutrino experiments. However, IceCube was designed to use the Earth as an atmospheric muon veto by selecting for events which come from the northern equatorial sky. Using the Earth as a muon shield allows us to increase the fiducial volume by placing...
Neutrinos play a fundamental role in core-collapse supernovae and compact binary mergers. In such dense environments, the coherent forward scattering of neutrinos on each other makes the flavor evolution a non-linear phenomenon. Using a quantum-kinetic approach, we model the neutrino flavor transformation in the presence of neutrino advection, neutrino-matter collisions, and neutrino...
