Description

Experiment JUNO is a neutrino oscillation experiment located in southern China. It is located 53 km away from 2 nuclear powerplants with overall power of about 36 GW (one powerplant is not yet completed) and the experiment uses its 20 kton liquid scintillator as a target. The experiment has many goals and ambitions e.g. determining the neutrino mass hierarchy, measurement of the oscillation parameters with unprecedent precision. The experiment started taking data in August 2025.

This work introduces the JUNO experiment, its first results and at the end touches subjects which the speaker contributed the most within the collaboration. That means liquid scintillator nonlinearity measurement, flasher system and its usage eg. in the water attenuation measurement.
