Description
The European Spallation Source (ESS), currently under construction in Sweden, will generate an intense pulsed neutrino flux, enabling high-statistics measurements of Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CE$\nu$NS) with advanced detection systems. The exceptional precision and large statistics anticipated from ESS-CE$\nu$NS measurements present a unique opportunity to explore physics both within and beyond the Standard Model (SM) with higher accuracy, surpassing current experimental capabilities. In this presentation, we will discuss projected sensitivities for determining the weak mixing angle and neutron root mean square charge radius through precision CE$\nu$NS measurements at ESS, utilising various detector technologies and experimental configurations provided by the collaboration |1|. We will further explore potential constraints on new physics, including neutrino non-standard interactions and the broader framework of neutrino generalised interactions, focusing on the prospects for detecting light mediators via precision CE$\nu$NS measurements at the future ESS.
