    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 CONUS experiment looks for coherent elastic scattering of reactor antineutrinos on Ge nuclei. It is based on four 1 kg sized point contact Germanium detectors within an elaborated shield located at 17 m distance from the 3.9 GW_th reactor core of the nuclear power plant in Brokdorf, Germany. Data collection was initiated in April 2018 and stopped in December 2022. This talk presents new...

    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 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)...

    The NEWS-G3 experiment is planning to use a Spherical Proportional Counter (SPC) for the measurement of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering at a nuclear reactor. The detector consists of a low-radioactivity copper sphere enclosed in a compact shield made of layers of copper, polyethylene and lead. The shield is equipped with an active muon veto made of twelve plastic scintillation...

    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.

    unprecedented precision...

    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...

    Oak Ridge National Laboratory has begun a decade-long upgrade to its Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) accelerator which will double the beam power and commission a second target station for neutron production. This machine will also produce a world-leading source of 0-53 MeV neutrinos produced as a byproduct of neutron production. The COHERENT collaboration has already exploited neutrinos at...

    Stopped-pion facilities pose a unique opportunity to probe new physics at MeV energy scales, a totally different but complementary phenomenology to the usual keV-scale nuclear recoil probes of CEvNS and neutrino NSI. I will discuss searches for axion-like particles and tests of the MiniBooNE excess at Coherent CAPTAIN Mills (CCM) using the 800 MeV proton beam source at the Lujan target (LANL)....

    Reactor neutrinos are useful for both applied and fundamental measurements. To date, these neutrinos have only been observed via charged current interactions requiring large liquid or solid scintillators. With the advent of CEvNS, new opportunities to monitor the status of reactors which requires smaller detectors are an appealing possibility to future integrated non-proliferation technology....

    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...
