The quest for increasingly higher precision in the description of EW processes demands the introduction of so-called radiative corrections, due to higher-order vertex contributions to the couplings of interacting particles. In this talk, we will review the radiative corrections of interest for coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEฮฝNS), focusing in particular on the neutrino charge...
There are several effort in reactor antineutrino experiments to reconfirm the CEvNS signal already detected in pion-decay at rest (pi-DAr) neutrino sources. In this talk I will discuss the implication of such a measurement, paying special attention in the complementary of both reactor and pi-DAR CEvNS measuments.
Direct dark matter detection experiments will soon be sensitive to solar neutrinos through their coherent scattering with the target nuclei, as well as their scattering with electrons. This offers an excellent opportunity to test new physics in this sector. By combining data from the two signatures, direct detection will provide a complementary test of the non-standard neutrino interactions...
I discuss the constraints on the parameters of several light boson mediator models obtained from the analysis of the current data of the COHERENT CEฮฝNS experiment. Since the COHERENT CEฮฝNS data are well-fitted with the cross section predicted by the Standard Model, the analysis of the data yields constraints for the mass and coupling of the new boson mediator in each model under consideration....
We consider the possible production of a new MeV-scale fermion at the COHERENT, LZ and XENONnT experiments. The new fermion, belonging to a dark sector, can be produced through the up-scattering process of neutrinos off the nuclei and the electrons of the detector material, via the exchange of a light mediator. We explore the possibility of generalized interactions, that is a scalar,...
In this presentation, I will discuss the constraints on the electromagnetic properties, particularly focusing on magnetic moments and millicharge, derived from the most recent measurements of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering. This will be achieved through a combined analysis of the COHERENT, Dresden-II, and CONUS data.
Based...
We derive new constraints on effective four-fermion neutrino non-standard interactions with both quarks and electrons. This is done through the global analysis of neutrino oscillation data and measurements of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) obtained with different nuclei. In doing so, we include not only the effects of new physics on neutrino propagation but also on the...
The explanation to many puzzles need new degrees of freedom beyond the Standard Model (SM), examples are dark matter and neutrino masses. In this regard, one direction is to introduce specific models and study their phenomenologies, and the other one is to get some possible hint on the new physics model independently by utilizing the SM Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). In this talk, we focus on...
RED-100 is a two-phase detector designed and built to study coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering (CEvNS) of reactor antineutrinos. In 2022, it was deployed at Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant (Udomlya, Russia) with xenon as a target material. Data collection included both reactor ON and OFF periods. The results of this run such as the sensitivity and the limit on CEvNS on Xe are presented....
The ฮฝGeN experiment continues to take data with a HPGe PPC detector at the Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP) benefiting from the antineutrino flux of $4.4\cdot10^{13}$ cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ at 11 m from the center of a 3.1 GW reactor core. This talk presents the updated result of the experiment and describes activities aimed to increase the sensitivity of the ฮฝGeN detector.
The neutral current neutrino-nucleus scattering process is currently used to probe various nuclear-structure parameters and to constrain physics within and beyond the standard model. Motivated by the observation of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CE$\nu$NS) at the COHERENT experiment, in this article we perform realistic nuclear-structure calculations in the framework of the...
I will review various different ways in which neutrinos represent an important background in upcoming dark matter experiments - encapsulated in the concept known as the neutrino floor, or, to use its recent rebranding: the "neutrino fog".
The โMigdal Effectโ is a predicted inelastic process in which a neutral particle scattering with a nucleus results in the excitation or ejection of a bound electron from the recoiling atom. It could enable detection of sub-threshold nuclear recoils, with the potential of dramatically expanding the sensitivity of existing detectors to low-mass dark matter and low-energy CEvNS signals. However,...
The Migdal effect has been invoked to extend the sensitivity of dark matter experiments to lighter, sub-GeV mass candidates. However, the Migdal effect has not been observed in nuclear scattering and, given how applications of this effect could impact the DM landscape, an experimental validation of the effect is very much needed. This is the goal of the MIGDAL (Migdal In Galactic Dark mAtter...
Since the observation of CEฮฝNS by the COHERENT collaboration in 2017, interest in CEฮฝNS has increased and there have been many global efforts to observe reactor neutrinos through CEฮฝNS. NEON, neutrino elastic scattering observation with NaI(Tl), was also launched in 2019 to observe CEฮฝNS of reactor neutrinos. Following the successful development of a high-light-yield NaI(Tl) detector, data...
Tracking capabilities for Nuclear Recoils (NRs) from CEvNS interactions would allow measurements of the recoil energy and direction, enabling an expansive physics program which leverages the kinematics of the neutrino's coherent scattering interaction. This talk will present the status of experimental efforts aimed at imaging the ionization charge produced by NRs in argon. These efforts...
In the coming year, two next-generation neutrino detectors, JUNO and JUNO-TAO, will start taking data. These neutrino observatories will realize unprecedented energy resolution and linearity in the field of liquid scintillator technology. Both detectors have a very broad physics
program, with a focus on the precise spectroscopy of reactor anti-electron neutrinos via the inverse beta decay of...
The Coherent CAPTAIN-Mills (CCM) experiment is a 10 ton liquid argon scintillation and Cherenkov detector at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. The detector is located 90deg off-axis and 23m away from the Lujan Facility's stopped pion source which will receive 2.25 10^22 POT in the ongoing 3 year run cycle. The short duration 290ns proton pulse and delayed arrival time of spallation...
Conventional direct Dark Matter (DM) detection experiments primarily explore the DM parameter space within the GeV-TeV mass range. However, recently, interest in exploring sub-GeV DM has increased. However, their low momenta make detection challenging, as they fail to induce recoils above the thresholds of conventional direct detection experiments. Even strongly interacting DM within this mass...
