Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEฮฝNS) has been demonstrated to be an essential tool to investigate key electroweak physics parameters and nuclear properties since its first observation in 2017 by COHERENT.

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,...

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...

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...

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,...

Dinesh Loomba (University of New Mexico)13/06/2024, 12:30Talk
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...

Dr Young Ju Ko (Institute for Basic Science)14/06/2024, 09:20Talk
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...

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...
