Description

The JUNO experiment is a neutrino experiment based on a 20-kiloton liquid scintillator detector, which is expected to observe various types of neutrinos, including reactor, atmosphere, solar, geo, and supernova neutrinos. The detector consists of a 35.4-meter-diameter acrylic vessel filled with liquid scintillator, supported by a stainless steel structure, and equipped with over 40,000 photomultiplier tubes. The primary goal of the experiment is to determine the neutrino mass ordering by precisely measuring the reactor neutrino energy spectrum. This talk will report on the calibration of the non-linear and non-uniform energy responses of the detector, including the analysis plan as well as the introduction of the detector calibration systems that are essential for this objective. Additionally, the latest development of the detector calibration sources will be discussed.
