Institute for Nuclear and Particle Astrophysics (INPA) at LBNL
The INPA Seminar weekly talks are on Fridays, starting at 12:00 pm, unless informed otherwise. The seminar talk starts with a brief presentation of the weekly scientific news. Typically, the talks conclude by 1:00 pm. The seminars are held in the Sessler Conference Room, located in Bldg. 50A- 5132.
The committee members are:
The seminar schedule for the Institute for Nuclear and Particle Astrophysics (INPA) is tentative and becomes final a few days before the Friday talk.
Please send all suggestions for future INPA talks and speakers to the INPA Committee.

INPA SEMINAR TALK
Date: August 23rd
Time: 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Location: Sessler Conference Room – 50A-5132 [Hybrid and In-Person]
Speaker: Sindhu Kumaran (UC Irvine)
Title: The JUNO Experiment: Status and Prospects
Abstract: The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a 20 kton liquid scintillator detector currently under construction 700 m underground in southern China. It will simultaneously probe solar and atmospheric oscillations using reactor antineutrinos, featuring an energy resolution of ~3% at 1 MeV. By studying the disappearance of electron antineutrinos emitted from 8 nuclear reactors at a baseline of about 52.5 km, JUNO will determine the neutrino mass ordering to 3σ significance within about 6 years of data taking and will measure 3-neutrino oscillation parameters to sub-percent precision. In addition, JUNO has a broad physics program with solar neutrinos, geoneutrinos, supernova neutrinos, atmospheric neutrinos, diffuse supernova neutrino background, and searches for physics beyond the Standard Model. The experiment will also deploy a satellite detector called JUNO-TAO that will measure the energy spectrum of reactor antineutrinos with unprecedented energy resolution. This talk will discuss the design, current status, and physics prospects of the JUNO experiment.
