Description
The experimental characteristic for a CEvNS detection is a low-energy nuclear recoil. For many detector technologies, the total energy of the recoil is not fully transferred into the signature — e.g. scintillation, ionization. In this case, the “quenching factor” needs to be calibrated. I will briefly present a set of the most common techniques to measure these effects with precision, and touch on the impact for the CEvNS community.
