SNO+ is a neutrino and double-beta decay experiment located 2km underground at SNOLAB, Canada. SNO+ developed a novel liquid scintillator based on Linear Alkylbenzene (LAB) and 2,5-diphenyloxazole (PPO). To purify all the components of the scintillator, a new process plant has been designed and constructed underground. Despite the limited space, the plant has a capacity of running several...

JUNO (Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory) [1], currently under construction in southern China, will detect neutrinos from several sources, aiming to determine the neutrino mass ordering at 3σ level in 6 years of data taking, as the primary scientific goal [2]. JUNO consists of a spherical central detector filled with 20000 tons of liquid

At the Frascati National Laboratories, we are developing a prototype of a detector that to serve as both a muon veto and neutron shield, which utilizes water to detect Cherenkov light. This detector can be used in the Cupid experiment.
