摘要:

江门地下中微子观测站(JUNO)是为确定中微子质量等级和探测中微子振荡的基本性质而提出的实验。JUNO中心探测器是一个具有20 kton基准质量的球形液体闪烁体探测器。要求在极低的放射性背景下实现$3\%/\sqrt{E(MeV)}$能量分辨率,这对探测器设计提出了很大的挑战。为了保证探测器的性能满足物理要求,需要对探测器进行可靠的仿真,为探测器的设计提供有用的信息。对JUNO中心探测器中的天然放射性背景进行了模拟研究,以指导探测器的设计,并对探测器材料的放射性纯度提出要求。

英文摘要:

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is an experiment proposed to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy and probe the fundamental properties of neutrino oscillation. The JUNO central detector is a spherical liquid scintillator detector with 20 kton fiducial mass. It is required to achieve a $3\%/\sqrt{E(MeV)}$ energy resolution with very low radioactive background, which is a big challenge to the detector design. In order to ensure the detector performance can meet the physics requirements, reliable detector simulation is necessary to provide useful information for detector design. A simulation study of natural radioactivity backgrounds in the JUNO central detector has been performed to guide the detector design and set requirements to the radiopurity of detector materials.
