This experimental particle physics project focuses on the use and development of liquid scintillator technology from a neutrino physics perspective. Neutrinos are an important tool for understanding the internal conditions of stars or the Earth. The project will measure the level of internal radioactivity interfering with the measurement for the JUNO experiment. JUNO will study the parameters governing the behavior of neutrinos and the accuracy of the measurements will depend in part on the results of this project. The liquid scintillator method will also take a giant step towards the future. This will be done by characterizing a new so-called slow scintillation liquid using radioactive sources and particle beam. The knowledge gained from the project will also be used to build and test a new measurement setup based on liquid accelerator technology at the Jyväskylä's Department of Physics. The measurements will provide the desired data for more accurate modelling of nuclear structures.
