    Neutron stars are cosmic laboratories uniquely poised to answer fundamental questions about the nature of dense neutron-rich matter. However, knowledge of the equation of state of neutron-rich matter is hindered by uncertainties in the neutron distribution of neutron-rich nuclei. Electroweak probes of ground state densities provide a clean and model-independent tool to mitigate these...

    Talk

    Assuming light vector mediators, we discuss the effects of CP violation on the coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) process in the COHERENT sodium-iodine, liquid argon and germanium detectors. We show that in some regions of the parameter space, the presence of a dip in the event rate spectrum can be used to constraint CP violating effects. In other regions, we find that CP...

    We consider a model of light (sub-GeV) dark matter that escapes many
    of the bounds placed by current dark matter searches. Such low mass
    dark matter candidates, if produced as a thermal relic in the early
    universe, must be accompanied by light mediators in order to reproduce
    the dark matter abundance observed in the present-day universe. These
    light mediators provide new channels for the...

    We classify new physics signals in coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) processes induced by B8 solar neutrinos in multi-ton xenon dark matter (DM) detectors. Our analysis focuses on vector and scalar interactions in the effective and light mediator limits after considering the constraints emerging from the recent COHERENT data and neutrino masses. In both cases we identify a...

    Talk

    In this talk, I will show the discovery prospects of Axion-like particle (ALP) at CE$\nu$NS experiments. We consider the ALPs that couples to the standard model through the $a\gamma\gamma$ interaction. The CE$\nu$NS experiments, utilizing reactors and high-intensity proton beam at stopped pion experiments, produce a large number of photons that will be converted to ALPs via the Primakoff...

    This talk will provide a brief description of the experimental methods and for PVES scattering, particularly for neutron skin measurements. It will also summarize the theoretical motivation for this type of measurement.

    We discuss new physics opportunities that are accessible from CEvNS measurements. Specifically, we explore the potential of probing neutrino transition magnetic moments and the existence of sterile neutrinos. We present the relevant constraints extracted from the existing COHERENT data as well as we estimate the projected sensitivities at future CEvNS experiments

    The idea of measuring the coherent elastic nuclear scattering of neutrinos emitted by a high intensity $^{51}$Cr radioactive source is investigated.
    To produce a high-intensity source, the radioactive material used in the GALLEX experiment (36 kg of Chromium 38.6 % enriched in $^{50}$Cr) could be reactivated to the intensity of a few MCi.
    The advantages of this source are that the activity...

    The J-PARC Material and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) is a pulsed spallation neutron source in Tokai, Japan. 3 GeV protons produced by the Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) are directed onto a mercury target at 25 Hz to produce an intense source of neutrons and decay-at-rest neutrinos. In this talk, I will describe the MLF facility with a particular focus on the neutrino source...
