JUNO sensitivity to ${}^7Be$, pep and CNO solar neutrinos.
Coletta C.
JUNO (Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory) is a neutrino detector currently under construction in China and expected to start data-taking in 2025. In my presentation I will discuss one of JUNO's main goals: the spectroscopy of solar neutrinos. It will be performed by observing the solar neutrino-electron scattering with 20 kt of high-radiopurity liquid scintillator. JUNO, with its high scintillating mass and excellent energy resolution, could be a key player in resolving some of the open questions in the field, like the solar metallicity problem or possible non-standard interactions. JUNO is expected to improve significantly the current accuracy in $^{7}Be$ neutrinos' measurements, while additional techniques to exclude radioactive backgrounds will be needed to improve the measurement of pep and CNO neutrinos. I will also discuss in further detail the possibility of using the directionality of Cherenkov light produced by the scattered electron to distinguish between neutrino events and radioactive beta decay.
