The first observations of coherent elastic neutrino nuclear scattering (CEvNS) on multiple nuclei were recently made by the COHERENT experiment at the Spallation Neutron Source at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This basic interaction now lays the foundation for a new era in developing compact neutrino detectors as well as a new probe of physics topics including electromagnetic properties,...
The $\nu$GeN experiment is aimed to study neutrino properties at the close vicinity of the reactor core of Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP) at Udomlya, Russia. The experimental setup is installed under reactor unit #3 of KNPP at the moving platform which allow to change distance from the center of the 3.1 GW$_{th}$ core from 11.1-12.2 m. In this way, we obtain an enormous antineutrino flux...
RED-100 is a two phase emission detector with 130 kg of Xe as a target material designed to study coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS). In 2021-2022, this detector was deployed 19 meters from the reactor core of Kalinin NPP (Udomlya, Russia) to search for CEvNS of reactor antineutrinos. Both reactor ON and reactor OFF data were acquired during the exposition. At the present...
The Coherent Neutrino-Nucleus Interaction Experiment (CONNIE) aims to detect the coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) of reactor antineutrinos off silicon nuclei using fully depleted high-resistivity charge-coupled devices (CCDs). The experiment, located at a distance of 30 m from the core of the 3.8 GW Angra 2 nuclear reactor in Rio de Janeiro, was able to set upper limits on...
Due to its low energy threshold, in the eV range, the Skipper-CCD technology has proved its potential to probe neutrino detection exploiting the CEvNS interaction channel [1]. CCDs are already being used for experiments using antineutrinos from a nuclear reactor, where they have shown their ability in constraining new physics models [2]. In addition, sensitivities to a variety of standard and...
Neutrino Elastic scattering Observation with NaI (NEON) is an experiment to detect a coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) using reactor electron antineutrinos. NEON is based on an array of six NaI(Tl) crystals corresponding to a total mass of 15 kg, located at the tendon gallery of the Hanbit nuclear reactor that is 24 m far from the reactor core. The installation of the NEON...
Neutrino nucleus elastic scattering ($\nu$Ael) is the direct test for electroweak interaction in the Standard Model of particle physics. Several experimental programs are being actively pursued in the observation of low energy $\nu$Ael. The TEXONO research program at Kuo-Sheng neutrino laboratory (KSNL) uses state-of-art point contact Germanium detector technology with $\mathcal{O}$(100 eV)...
Coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering (CEvNS) is a well-predicted Standard Model process only recently
observed for the first time. Its precise study could reveal non-standard neutrino properties and open a window
to search for physics beyond the Standard Model.
NUCLEUS is a CEvNS experiment conceived for the detection of neutrinos from nuclear reactors with
unprecedented precision...
Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEνNS) offers valuable sensitivity to physics beyond the Standard Model. The Ricochet experiment will use cryogenic solid-state detectors to perform a precision measurement of a CEνNS spectrum at the ILL nuclear reactor. The experiment will employ an array detectors, each with a mass of approximately 30 g and an energy threshold of 50 eV. Nine of...
We present BULLKID, a project aiming to deliver a scalable cryogenic detector for coherent neutrino nucleus scattering and low-mass Dark Matter direct detection.
The device consists of an array of silicon targets sensed by multiplexed Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs).
The prototype we present is made of 64 cubic voxels of $5.4\times 5.4 \times 5 \text{ mm}^3$ each carved out of a 5 mm...
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...
Cryogenic detectors have reached extremely low energy thresholds, making them useful tools to detect sub-keV nuclear recoils induced by Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CEνNS), or interactions with light Dark Matter. However, these detectors lack calibration for nuclear recoils at this energy scale. We propose using nuclear recoils produced by γ de-excitation after thermal neutron...
The $\nu$BDX-DRIFT detector is a directional low-pressure TPC that uses carbon disulfide as target material, but is flexible enough to operate with other target materials such as carbon tetrafluoride or tetraethyllead. Using decay-in-flight neutrino fluxes at Fermilab (NuMI or LBNF), the $\nu$BDX-DRIFT detector offers a CEvNS program complementary to other CEvNS projects at the SNS, the ESS or...
Directional and particle identification capabilities can play a critical role in rare event searches, and it becomes especially challenging when very low energy thresholds need to be reached. Large gaseous detectors with high granularity readout could represent a groundbreaking solution, by combining detectable flight length at low recoil energy, very good discrimination between nuclear and...
