Abstract
JUNO is the acronym for Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory, an underground neutrino observatory located close to Kaiping city, South China. It will be the largest detector to use a liquid scintillator to detect neutrinos. JUNO will use 20 ktons of liquid scintillator and will be equipped with 17612 20 inch photomultipliers and 25600 3-inch photomultipliers to capture the light emitted during the scintillation. JUNO will be able to detect neutrinos and antineutrinos emitted by various sources including those emitted during stellar explosions. In particular, it will be possible to study both the diffuse supernova neutrino background and the neutrinos emitted by a Supernova that occurred during the active life of the Observatory. By exploiting the different detection channels, the high energy resolution (3% at 1 MeV), and the ability to detect neutrinos of all lepton families, JUNO will have a leading role in studying these phenomena. In this regard, a trigger system focused on multi-messenger astronomy has been developed specifically for JUNO. The potential of JUNO to detect neutrinos produced by supernovae will be presented and discussed in this manuscript.
