The JUNO experiment: status and physics potential

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a multi-purpose experiment designed to study fundamental neutrino properties and investigate various neutrino sources. Thanks to its 20 kton active mass and its unprecedented energy resolution of <3% at 1 MeV, JUNO is expected to shed light on the neutrino mass ordering (NMO) and measure several of the oscillation parameters with unprecedented precision. Besides its main ambitious goal, JUNO’s extensive physics program includes studies of neutrinos from the Sun, the atmosphere, supernovae, and planet Earth, as well as explorations of physics beyond the Standard Model. As of the date of the proceeding, the detector construction is nearing its end, and the experiment is about to begin filling, preparing for data taking. This proceeding provides an overview of the current status of the JUNO experiment and its role in advancing the field. It describes the design and components of the JUNO detector, and concludes by examining JUNO’s physics potential and program, emphasizing its capabilities in studying neutrinos from reactors and other sources.
