Description
The Taishan Antineutrino Observatory (TAO, also known as JUNO-TAO) is a satellite experiment of the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO). Its central detector is equipped with 4024 customized silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) tiles, each featuring a dimension of 5cm * 5cm, covering nearly 10 m$^2$ of spherical surface area. Operated at -50 $^\circ$C with low-temperature liquid scintillator, the detector is designed to achieve unprecedented energy resolution of 2% at 1 MeV for precise measurements of the reactor neutrino energy spectrum. The installation of the TAO detector is completed and commissioning work is on-going, with data-taking expected to begin soon. I will give a talk of TAO experiment on behalf of the JUNO collaboration. This talk will present an overview of recent progress on the TAO detector, and results from the mass characterization of the SiPMs and performance of the photo-detector.
