JUNO’s Sensitivity to Neutrino Mass Ordering (on behalf of the JUNO Collaboration)

Abstract

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a 20 kt liquid scintillator detector that is under construction in southern China. One of the main goals of the experiment is to determine the neutrino mass ordering. For this measurement, JUNO will use electron antineutrinos from eight nuclear reactors located at an optimized baseline of 52.5 km. To resolve fast oscillatory pattern in the spectrum and determine the neutrino mass ordering, JUNO will need energy resolution \(\sigma \) of 3% at 1 MeV and energy scale uncertainty lower than 1%. This paper covers recent results of JUNO’s sensitivity analysis for neutrino mass ordering.
