The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) project aims at probing, at the same time, the two main frequencies of three-flavor neutrino oscillations, as well as their interference related to the mass ordering (normal or inverted), at a distance of ~53 km from two powerful reactor complexes in China, at Yangjiang and Taishan. In the latter complex, the unoscillated spectrum from one reactor core is planned to be closely monitored by the Taishan Antineutrino Observatory (TAO), expected to have better resolution (x 1/2) and higher statistics (x 30) than JUNO. In the context of neutrino energy spectra endowed with fine-structure features from summation calculations, we analyze in detail the effects of energy resolution and nucleon recoil on observable event spectra. We show that a model spectrum in TAO can be mapped into a corresponding spectrum in JUNO through appropriate convolutions. The mapping is exact in the hypothetical case without oscillations, and holds to a very good accuracy in the real case with oscillations. We then analyze the sensitivity to mass ordering of JUNO (and its precision oscillometry capabilities) assuming a single reference spectrum, as well as bundles of variant spectra, as obtained by changing nuclear input uncertainties in summation calculations from a publicly available toolkit. We show through a chi-squared analysis that variant spectra induce little reduction of the sensitivity in JUNO, especially when TAO constraints are included. Subtle aspects of the statistical analysis of variant spectra are also discussed.

A new way to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy at reactors
中微子质量排序的确定目前正在进行的几个实验和建议。一个非常具有挑战性的是它的评价反应堆实验的基础上的微小干扰效应之间的$Δm^2_{31}$和$Δm^2_{32}$振荡。目前的分析需要几年的数据采集和极端的能量分辨率,以实现无论如何小于5 $σ$。参考JUNO的实验条件,我们开发了一种全新的技术,该技术将在不到六年的运行时间内提供稳健的5 $σ$测量。这两种排序可以以允许$Δm^2_{31}$的两个不同值为代价来区分。然而,在相同的分析中,可以以远小于1%的前所未有的精度测量$Δm^2_{31}$上的这种简并度(大约$12\times 10^{-5}$ eV $^2$),即$10^{-5}$ eV $^2$。类比与通常的$χ^2$分析,其中的$Δm^2_{31}$简并是更重要的,进行了讨论。已经进行了系统误差和背景的评估和包含,其中最相关的是增加了两个250 km外的远程反应堆工厂。每个贡献的反应堆堆芯的基线及其空间分辨率已被考虑在内。运行两年后可能的结果和预期的初始减少的可用反应堆功率也进行了研究。这些结果证实了JUNO在确定真空振荡主导区域中的质量有序性方面的非常积极的观点。
