abstract = {The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a
20 kton liquid scintillator detector in a laboratory at
700-m underground. An excellent energy resolution and a
large fiducial volume offer exciting opportunities for
addressing many important topics in neutrino and
astro-particle physics. With six years of data, the neutrino
mass ordering can be determined at a 3-4 significance and
the neutrino oscillation parameters , , and can be measured
to a precision of $0.6\%$ or better, by detecting reactor
antineutrinos from the Taishan and Yangjiang nuclear power
plants. With ten years of data, neutrinos from all past
core-collapse supernovae could be observed at a 3
significance; a lower limit of the proton lifetime, years
$(90\%$ C.L.), can be set by searching for ; detection of
solar neutrinos would shed new light on the solar
metallicity problem and examine the vacuum-matter transition
region. A typical core-collapse supernova at a distance of
10 kpc would lead to inverse-beta-decay events and (300)
all-flavor neutrino-proton (electron) elastic scattering
events in JUNO. Geo-neutrinos can be detected with a rate of
events per year. Construction of the detector is very
challenging. In this review, we summarize the final design
of the JUNO detector and the key $R\&D$ achievements,
following the Conceptual Design Report in 2015 (Djurcic et
al., 2015). All 20-inch PMTs have been procured and tested.
The average photon detection efficiency is $28.9\%$ for the
15,000 MCP PMTs and $28.1\%$ for the 5,000 dynode PMTs,
higher than the JUNO requirement of $27\%.$ Together with
the m attenuation length of the liquid scintillator achieved
in a 20-ton pilot purification test and the transparency of
the acrylic panel, we expect a yield of 1345 photoelectrons
per MeV and an effective relative energy resolution of in
simulations (Abusleme et al., 2021). To maintain the high
performance, the underwater electronics is designed to have
a loss rate in six years. With degassing membranes and a
micro-bubble system, the radon concentration in the 35 kton
water pool could be lowered to mBq/m. Acrylic panels of
radiopurity ppt U/Th for the 35.4-m diameter liquid
scintillator vessel are produced with a dedicated production
line. The 20 kton liquid scintillator will be purified
onsite with Alumina filtration, distillation, water
extraction, and gas stripping. Together with other low
background handling, singles in the fiducial volume can be
controlled to . The JUNO experiment also features a double
calorimeter system with 25,600 3-inch PMTs, a liquid
scintillator testing facility OSIRIS, and a near detector
