Participating Countries and International Organizations:
China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, Slovakia, Turkey, USA. 

Scientific Programme:

  • Measurement of the  neutrino mixing angle and  m 2ee squared mass difference in Daya Bay experiment. 

  • Measurement of the solar neutrino fluxes in Borexino experiment, search for the sterile neutrino state. 

  • Study of the neutrino oscillations in OPERA experiment. 

  • Neutrino mass hierarchy determination and measurement of CP violation phase of the neutrino mixing matrix in JUNO and NOvA experiments. 

  • R&D for the new photo-detectors and detector equipment for the neutrino experiments. 

  • Improving of the precision of direct solar neutrino flux measurements with the Borexino detector, phase-II experiment. 

    Expected main results in 2018: 
    • Physics analysis of the Daya Bay experiment data. 

    • Sensitivity optimization to the mass hierarchy measurements and determination of neutrino oscillation parameters. 

    • Application of software algorithms for event reconstruction in NOvA experiments. 

    • Study of NOvA experiment systematic uncertainties related to the neutrino-nucleon cross sections and MSW effects for current NOvA analysis. 

    • Use of NOvA experiment Remote Operation Centre at JINR for shifts. 

    • Test of High Voltage prototype for JUNO PMT. 

    • Measurement of JUNO PMT characteristics. 

    • OPERA emulsions analysis at JINR. 

    • Preparation of the OPERA TT detectors for the use in JUNO experiment. 

    • Measurement of JUNO veto system prototype at JINR using OPERA detectors. 

    • Event coordinates reconstruction in Borexino detector. 

    • Analysis of solar neutrino parameters in Borexino detector.
