Abstract

In this project we will explore JUNO experiment both as a nuclear reactor and as a solar neutrino oscillation experiment to search for new physics. As a reactor neutrino experiment JUNO will be able to measure m^2_21 and sin^2¸_12 with a precision r 0.5%. This will make JUNO as a solar neutrino experiment extremely sensitive to beyond the Standard Model physics. We want to explore this synergy. (AU)
