Description

Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a multi-purpose neutrino experiment located in southern China. The primary goal of JUNO is to determine the neutrino mass ordering and measure several neutrino oscillation parameters to sub-percent precision by measuring the oscillated reactor antineutrino spectrum at $\sim52.5$ km from eight nuclear reactors. Selection of the reactor IBD signal with high efficiency and accuracy is key to measuring the oscillated reactor antineutrino spectrum. This poster presents a box-cut method to separate the IBD signal from background, and the muon-veto strategy effect on background. The resulting IBD signal and background rates and uncertainties will be presented.
