Abstract

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory(JUNO) is a 20 kton liquid scintillator neutrino experiment under construction in a 700 m deep underground in Southern China. The experiment has been designed to reach the energy resolution of 3% at 1 MeV for the neutrino mass ordering determination with the PMT photocathode coverage >75%.The central detector is installed with 17 612 20-inch PMTs and 25 600 3-inch PMTs. Besides the main physics goal, JUNO will also contribute to various other areas. These include measuring neutrino oscillation parameters to the sub-percent precision, detecting geo, solar, atmospheric neutrinos, and monitoring the neutrino sky for transient phenomena such as supernovae explosion. Besides, the detector will be a perfect observatory for proton decay searches.
