Abstract

Abstract

The detector of the Jinping Neutrino Experiment （JNE）， located in the China Jinping Underground Laboratory， represents a new generation of hybrid neutrino detectors. Due to factors such as the spatial constraints in the laboratory， the requirements of neutrino physics research， and the management regulations of experiment operation， the selection of the detector and its structure presents a series of challenging issues in engineering design. The detector consists of a stainless steel structure， an acrylic spherical vessel， and a synthetic fiber rope support structure， etc. The stainless steel structure includes a housing for the storage of the shield buffer and a reticulated housing for the photomultiplier tube； the acrylic sphere is the core container of the detector， supported by synthetic fiber ropes. This paper discussed the selection requirements of each part of the detector under the above constraints， and provided a strategic scheme for the design and installation of the detector.
