Description
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a multi-purpose neutrino experiment primarily focusing on determining the mass ordering of neutrinos through the use of reactor antineutrinos. The JUNO detector is equipped with a 20-kiloton liquid scintillator target, monitored by 17,612 20-inch photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) and 25,600 3-inch PMTs. Construction of the JUNO detector was completed in 2024, and the liquid filling process commenced last December, with completion anticipated this summer.
The unique detection capabilities of multi-flavor neutrinos from core-collapse supernovae make JUNO an outstanding observatory for supernova bursts and other transient events. In this talk, I will provide an overview of JUNO's redundant supernova monitoring system and report on its current commissioning status. Additionally, I will discuss the physics potential of supernova neutrino detection and the implications of multi-messenger observations.
