Description

Dark matter, neutrinos, and high-energy cosmic rays are frontier areas of particle physics and astrophysics, closely related to cosmic and stellar evolution. The China Jinping Underground Laboratory (CJPL) features the deepest rock overburden in the world, which can significantly suppress low-energy cosmic-ray muons, providing a unique environment for detecting atmospheric neutrinos and high-energy cosmic-ray muons. Based on the high purity water shield at CJPL, this project plans to develop an underground detector for cosmic rays and neutrinos. The successful development of this instrument will not only improve the sensitivity of dark matter experiments at CJPL, but also provide unique, high-statistics underground muon data for studies of primary cosmic rays and mountain tomography.
