Abstract:

The next generation of neutrino experiments presents unprecedented opportunities to address key questions in particle physics and astrophysics. This talk will summarise recent progresses in 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 the detector’s recent developments in preparation for aprecision reactor neutrino analysis programme, where the experiment aims to have world-leading sensitivity to the neutrino mass ordering and make sub-percent precision measurements of oscillation parameters and .

I will also introduce TRIDENT, including its recent progress on the detector development and upcoming deployment. Also shown are assessments of the detector’s capability to discover astrophysical neutrino sources and identify interactions from all neutrino flavours. These are used to directly inform detector design optimisation and shape the physics potential for the full planned array.

About the speaker：

I am a neutrino experimentalist working on the JUNO and TRIDENT experiments, as a postdoctoral fellow at the Tsung-Dao Lee Institute, Shanghai. I previously worked on the SNO+ experiment during my PhD at the University of Oxford, United Kingdom. Previous to that I completed my Bachelors in Trinity College Dublin, Ireland.
