abstract = {The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a
neutrino experiment under construction in an underground
laboratory with a 650 m rock overburden near Jiangmen in
southern China. The detector’s main component will be 20
kton of liquid scintillator held in a spherical acrylic
vessel. The experiment is designed for the determination of
neutrino mass ordering, one of the key open questions in
neutrino physics. This measurement will be based on
observations of the vacuum oscillation pattern of
antineutrinos from two nuclear power plants at a baseline of
53 km. The estimated sensitivity is 3𝜎 in about six years
with 26.6 GW$_{\rm th}$ of reactor power. A key ingredient
for the success is an excellent and extremely challenging
energy resolution of 3\% at 1 MeV. The light produced by the
scintillator will be seen by 17,612 large twenty-inch PMTs
and 25,600 small three-inch PMTs. The OSIRIS detector will
monitor the radio purity of the liquid scintillator during
the months-long filling process of the main detector. The
unoscillated antineutrino spectrum from one reactor core
will be measured with unprecedented precision by the Taishan
Antineutrino Observatory (TAO), located at a baseline of
about 30 m. JUNO is expected to substantially improve the
precision of sin$^2$$2𝜃_{12}$, $Δ𝑚^2_{21}$, and
$Δ𝑚^2_{31}$ neutrino oscillation parameters.
Astrophysical measurements of solar, geo-, supernova, DSNB,
and atmospheric neutrinos, as well as searching for proton
decay and dark matter, are integral parts of the vast JUNO
physics program. This contribution reviews the physics goals
and current status of the JUNO project.},
