Studies on muon track reconstruction with the JUNO liquid scintillator neutrino detector — •Christoph Genster, Marta Meloni, Michael Soiron, Achim Stahl, Marcel Weifels, and Christopher Wiebusch — RWTH Aachen University - III. Physikalisches Institut B

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a 20kt liquid scintillator detector. It is sensitive to reactor neutrinos from two nuclear power plants at medium baseline of about 50km. Its main goal is the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy. Fast and effective muon tracking is essential for the veto of atmospheric muons and the detection of atmospheric muon neutrinos. In water Cherenkov detectors muons are tracked by imaging the Cherenkov rings. In liquid scintillator detectors tracking is more difficult due to the isotropic emission of light. First results of muon reconstruction are presented.
