Ultra-pure liquid scintillators for JUNO and beyond

Abstract

This article offers an overview of the JUNO experiment, highlighting the specific requirements and challenges associated with the utilization of liquid scintillators. The paper concentrates on the development process of those ultra-pure liquid scintillators, as well as on the construction and commissioning status of the production plant. Preliminary results are presented, along with the future plans for the project. Furthermore, the potential applications of ultra-pure liquid scintillators are discussed.
