Oral/Presentation

Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a 20-kiloton liquid scintillator detector currently under construction in Jiangmen, China. Situated 52.5 km from two nuclear power plants within a newly established 700-meter-deep underground laboratory, JUNO aims to determine the neutrino mass ordering by precisely measuring the energy spectrum of reactor neutrinos. Achieving this goal...

Oral/Presentation

Many neutrino detectors use photons as their primary event detection method, typically detecting numbers of photons and their arrival times. Photons also carry information about an event through their wavelength, polarization, and direction, but often little to none of this information is utilized. The "dichroicon," a Winston-style light cone comprised of dichroic filters, allows detectors to...
