Description
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO), currently under construction in China, will be a multi-kton liquid scintillator detector with a unique potential to perform a real-time measurement of solar neutrinos well below the few MeV threshold typical of Water Cherenkov detectors. JUNO’s large target mass and excellent energy resolution are prerequisites for reaching unprecedented levels of precision.
In this poster, we report the JUNO sensitivity to 7Be, pep, and CNO solar neutrinos that can be obtained via a spectral analysis. Different scenarios of the scintillator radiopurity are considered, ranging from the most optimistic one, which corresponds to the radiopurity levels achieved by the Borexino detector, up to the minimum requirements needed to perform the neutrino mass ordering determination with reactor antineutrinos. In most scenarios, JUNO will be able to improve the current best measurements on 7Be, pep, and CNO solar neutrino fluxes, with relevant impact for the understanding of the solar metallicity problem.
