Abstract
Jiangmen Undergroud Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a reactor antineutrino experiment with the main purpose for determining the neutrino mass hierarchy by precisely measuring the energy spectrum of nuclear reactor electron antineutrinos. The JUNO central detector consists of 20 kilotons an organic liquid scintillator filling the spherical CD or acrylic sphere whose diameter is 35.4 meters, surrounded by a water pool, approximately 18, 000 20″ and 25, 000 3″ photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) on the inner CD truss and 2,400 20″ Veto-PMT on the outer CD truss. The PMTs are very sensitive to external magnetic fields, the earth magnetic field (EMF) passing through the PMTs without any shielding would largely reduce the efficiency of the PMTs. In order to minimize the effect of EMF inside the detector, JUNO has been planing to use the DC coils to shield EMF, aiming at the residual EMF to less than 10 % on PMT areas.
