Description
The next generation of neutrino experiments presents unprecedented opportunities to address key questions in particle physics and astrophysics. This talk will summarise recent contributions made in two flagship international experiments: JUNO, a 20,000-ton liquid scintillator detector that has recently entered full data-taking in China, and TRIDENT, a next-generation deep-sea Cherenkov telescope under development in the South China Sea, spanning several cubic kilometres.
On JUNO, I will discuss developments in the reactor neutrino oscillation analysis programme, aiming to make world-leading measurements of critical oscillation parameters, and eventually determine the neutrino mass ordering. Also included are contributions to detector commissioning, and the implementation of a real-time multi-messenger alert system for astrophysical sources.
For TRIDENT, I will present progress on the detector’s design and physics potential. A detailed neutrino interaction modelling and full-chain simulation framework has been developed to assess the detector’s capability to discover astrophysical neutrino sources and identify interactions from all neutrino flavours. These studies directly inform detector design optimisation and shapes the physics potential for the full planned array.
