Description
The JUNO (Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory) experiment is a multi-purpose neutrino experiment currently under construction in Jiangmen, China.
The primary goal is to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy by measuring
reactor antineutrinos at a baseline of 53 km. The 20 kton liquid-scintillator
detector aims at achieving an outstanding energy resolution of 3%/$\sqrt{E\text{(MeV)}}$ of
Inverse Beta Decay (IBD) events. Hence, the charge and arrival
times of individual photons have to be
reconstructed with great precision. Furthermore, the suppression of the cosmic
muon background is performed by a partial volume veto depending on the first hit time and charge of the muon signals.
The IBD waveform study is based on the
deconvolution method, which unfolds the photo-electron hit pattern and the
single photo-electron response. The results of IBD photo-electron reconstruction and
the reconstruction of the first hit time of muons and the corresponding
charge are presented.
