MLIT expands its participation in development of JUNO experiment distributed computing infrastructure


In January, the 25th meeting of the international collaboration of the JUNO (Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory) experiment took place in Kaiping (Guangdong Province, China). JINR has been actively involved in this project since its foundation. Nikita Balashov, a first-category software engineer of the Meshcheryakov Laboratory of Information Technologies, participated in the meeting.

The main goal of the JUNO experiment is to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy. Thanks to the huge volume of the scintillation detector and the high accuracy of energy measurements, the project opens up wide opportunities for fundamental research: from the precision determination of mixing parameters in the lepton sector of the Standard Model and the detection of geoneutrinos and solar neutrinos to the observation of neutrinos from supernovae and the search for new physics, including proton decay.
