A2: Neutrino Facilities and Detector Concepts
- Guofu Cao (Institute of High Energy Physics)
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO), with 53 km baseline from a set of nuclear reactors under construction, and featuring an overburden of more than 700 meters, will aim at measuring the neutrino mass hierarchy, as well as many other quantities of utmost importance in neutrino and astroparticle physics. The underground experimental hall, in which JUNO detector installed and...
The Modane Underground Laboratory (LSM) is located 1700 m (4800 m.w.e) below Fréjus peak (Alpes chain) mountain in the middle of the Fréjus tunnel between France/Italy. The LSM is a multi-disciplinary platform for the experiments requiring low radioactivity environment. Several experiments in Particle and Astroparticle Physics, low-level of High Purity of Germanium gamma ray spectrometry,...
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a multi-purpose experiment with a 20 kton liquid scintillator (LS) detector of unprecedented 3% energy resolution (at 1 MeV) at 700 meter underground (1800 m.w.e.). The liquid scintillator target is contained in an acrylic sphere with a diameter of 35.4 meter, which is supported by a stainless steel latticed shell structure outside. There...
Neutrino oscillation physics has now entered the precision era. In parallel with needing larger detectors to collect more data, future experiments further require a significant reduction of systematic uncertainties with respect to what is currently available. In the neutrino oscillation measurements from the T2K experiment, the systematic uncertainties related to neutrino interaction cross...
Optical readout of large scale dual-phase liquid Argon TPCs is an
attractive and cost effective alternative to charge readout. Following
the successful demonstration of 3D optical readout with the ARIADNE
1-ton detector, the ARIADNE+ experiment was deployed using the protoDUNE
“cold box” at the CERN neutrino platform imaging a much larger active
region of 2mx2m. ARIADNE+ uses 4 Timepix3...
The Taishan Antineutrino Observatory (TAO or JUNO-TAO) is a satellite experiment of the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO). By adopting 10 m^2 Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) with 50% photon detection efficiency (PDE) and 94% coverage, and 2.8 ton gadolinium-doped liquid scintillator (GdLS) with 4500 photoelectrons per MeV effective light yield, TAO detector will reach 2%/√E...
