Start of JUNO data taking

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a 20 kiloton multi-purpose liquid scintillator detector located in South China. After completion of detector construction, JUNO has started data taking in August 2025.

JUNO’s primary goal is to determine the neutrino mass ordering, with an expected significance of 3-4 sigma in about six years. Sensitivity arises from the modulations induced by neutrino oscillations in the energy spectrum of reactor electron antineutrinos from two nuclear power plants at 53 km. Based on the first few months of data, JUNO will be able to perform a precision measurement of neutrino oscillation parameters. 

This talk will explore the current status of JUNO’s measurement program. It will highlight as well the experiment's future physics potential in the observation of neutrinos from astrophysical sources.
