status of the cosmogenic analisis in the Jiangmen underground neutrino observatory — •Marcel Büchner, Tim Charisse, Arshak Jafar, Michael Wurm, Daniela Fetzer, Oliver Pilarczyk, and Manuel Böhles — Johannes-Gutenberg-Universität Mainz

The Jiangmen underground neutrino observatory (JUNO) is a 20 Kton liquid scintillator experiment located approx. 700m underground in the Guangdong province in China. Its main physics goal is the determination of neutrino mass ordering. To achieve that goal, it measures reactor neutrinos produced by two nuclear power plants that are located approx. 53 km away from the experimental site. Even at this depth, cosmic muons pass through the detector regularly. These muons are not only a significant background source but also produce various radioactive isotopes. This presentation focuses on the selection of these cosmogenic isotopes, which while producing an additional background can also be used to calibrate the detector for higher energies.
