Abstract
The JUNO (Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory), a 20 kton multi-purpose underground liquid scintillator detector, has been proposed to address outstanding issues in the neutrino sector. In the initial phase of the experimental effort, the overall concept of the structure of the detector was finalized, leading to the realization of the several components and subsystems comprised in it. Meanwhile, the experimental site was excavated and equipped to host the experiment. We are now in the final construction stage, with the detector and all its ancillary equipment being assembled underground. The main target of JUNO is the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy, which will be accessible through the measurement of the antineutrino spectrum from two high power nuclear complexes, 53 km away from the experimental site. In this work, I briefly review the ample capabilities of the experiment for neutrino physics, which include in addition to the crucial measure of the neutrino hierarchy, the high precision determination of three oscillation parameters, as well as a vast number of potential astroparticle physics investigations. I illustrate also the main technical characteristics of JUNO, which form the basis for its ambitious physics goals.
