Determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy with atmospheric neutrinos in JUNO

  • 1. RWTH Aachen University, III. Physikalisches Institut b (Germany)

Description

The JUNO experiment will be a 20 kt liquid scintillator neutrino detector near Kaiping, China. Its main goal is the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy from a precise measurement of the energy spectrum of neutrinos 50 km from the reactor. Its large target mass will allow to also measure oscillations of atmospheric neutrinos. These can give information on the mass hierarchy due to matter effects during propagation through the Earth's interior. The sensitivity of a measurement of the mass hierarchy with atmospheric neutrinos is discussed.
