Description

The planned JUNO (Jinangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory) Detector will use 20 kt of liquid scintillator (LS) based on LAB (Linear AlkylBenzene) as neutrino target. Reactor antineutrino interactions will be detected by means of inverse beta decay with the emission of a positron and analysis of the resulting luminescent light. An experimental setup for a lifetime determination of positronium formed in LAB is currently being developed in Munich. In this talk an overview of the setup is presented as well as first results from Monte-Carlo-Simulations and measurements.
