The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a multipurpose liquid scintillator-based neutrino experiment with a target mass of 20 kt. The detector is currently under construction and plans to start the data-taking in 2023. Its main goal is the determination of the neutrino mass ordering (MO), through a measurement of the oscillation pattern of reactor neutrinos over 53 km baseline. For a successful measurement of MO with at least 3$\sigma$ in 6 years, the energy resolution of JUNO must reach an unprecedented 3% at 1 MeV, which is challenging in terms of event reconstruction. Moreover, future JUNO results about neutrino MO could be further improved via a combined analysis with atmospheric neutrinos, which can be observed and reconstructed in JUNO. To achieve this target performance, a precise knowledge of the detector's energy scale has been studied and event reconstruction methods based on charge and time information of the PMTs will be presented in this talk. |
