Description
The Scintillating Bubble Chamber (SBC) experiment is a novel multipurpose technique optimized for low-energy nuclear recoils detection. Two semi-identical detectors are under development by the collaboration, aimed at studying dark matter interactions (SBC-SNOLAB) and reactor CEvNS interactions (SBC-CEvNS). This talk will review the detector strategies and the feasibility studies of the weak mixing angle, neutrino magnetic moment, and a light Z′ gauge boson mediator for different SBC-CEvNS configurations. Finally, we will highlight how world-leading sensitivities are achieved with a one-year exposure for a 10 kg chamber at 3 m from a 1 MW$_{th}$ research reactor or a 100 kg chamber at 30 m from a 2000 MW$_{th}$ power reactor.
