Abstract

This project aims to study the potential of the JUNO experiment to investigate physics beyond the Standard Model using high energy solar neutrino data (8B), assuming the independent determination of the solar parameters $\Delta m^2_{21}$ and $\sin^2 \theta_{12}$to better than 1% precision by the same experiment using reactor neutrino data. We will investigate JUNO sensitivity to the standard MSW solution as well as to the existence of sterile neutrinos and new interactions. (AU)
