The COHERENT collaboration operates an array of detectors in the ORNL Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) "Neutrino Alley" to search for coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering (CEvNS) and other low-energy rare scattering processes. Our goal is to precisely measure CEvNS (and other channels) to further understanding on a wide variety of questions in astro-, particle, and nuclear physics. We...

The CONUS reactor neutrino experiment aims to measure coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering (CEvNS) on germanium nuclei. The experiment is located at about 17 m distance from the 3.9 GWth core of the commercial nuclear power plant in Brokdorf, Germany. Four 1 kg point contact germanium detectors equipped with electric cryocooling allow to measure at the sub keV range with background...

The νGeN project is aimed to study neutrino scattering at the close vicinity of the reactor core of Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP). Its main interests are connected with the detection of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEνNS) and the search for the magnetic moment of neutrino. The experimental setup is constructed under reactor unit #3 of KNPP at a distance of about 10 m from...

Located at a distance of 30 m from the core of the Angra II 3.8 GW nuclear reactor in Brazil, the Coherent Neutrino-Nucleus Interaction Experiment (CONNIE) uses fully depleted high-resistivity CCDs (Charge Coupled Devices) with the goal of measuring CEνNS of reactor antineutrinos with silicon nuclei. It has been taking data since 2016 with a noise level of less than 2 e- RMS and an active mass...

Neutrino Nucleus Elastic scattering ($\nu A_{el}$) is a well understood Standard Model process. Experimental cross-sections are enhanced and yet complicated by quantum-mechanical coherency effects with their $q^2$ dependence. Positive measurements of $\nu A_{el}$ so far were achieved by the COHERENT experiment with stopped pion neutrinos ($E_{\nu}$<53 MeV). The TEXONO experiment is pursuing...

Low-energy neutrino processes are of great interest for modern physics. It is an inseparable part for understanding the Standard Model (for example, studying coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) on different nuclei) and the possible processes beyond it (like non-standard neutrino interactions or dark matter).

The main problem of simulating such processes is inconsistency of... -

The RED-100 is a two-phase emission liquid xenon detector. It was deployed at the Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP) to detect and study the process of Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CEvNS) on Xe nuclei in a close vicinity to a reactor core. CEvNS was predicted more than 40 years ago and was observed only recently by the COHERENT experiment with CsI and LAr targets deployed at...

Coherent Captain Mills (CCM) is a 10-ton liquid argon scintillation detector located at the Lujan Neutron Science Center at Los Alamos. CCM searches for sterile neutrinos and dark matter generated from an 800 MeV proton beam. In this talk I will discuss CCM’s search for sub-GeV dark matter candidates including both vector portal and leptophobic dark matter as well as other dark sector...

Noble element detectors have an event-rate advantage in detecting low-energy CEvNS interactions. Existing argon and xenon detector technologies, however, have drawbacks that limit their applications in this field. CHILLAX is an effort to combine the advantages of a liquid argon target and a xenon-like performance in a single detector. In this talk, I will discuss the motivation for this unique...

We will present a discussion of a new detector technology, the “Snowball Chamber,” which is based on the phase transition (of liquid to solid) for metastable fluids. A water-based supercooled detector has great potential for dark matter, but here we will focus on neutrino physics, utilizing the CEνNS interaction on Oxygen. It is likely possible to reach operational conditions wherein such a...

The SBC Collaboration is constructing 10-kg liquid argon bubble chambers with scintillation readout for nuclear-recoil detection. The first device will be commissioned at Fermilab to measure sensitivity to sub-keV nuclear recoils. A second, roughly identical, device will be deployed underground at SNOLAB for a GeV-scale dark matter search. At the same time, the collaboration is exploring sites...

BULLKID (Bulky and low-threshold kinetic inductance detectors) is an R&D project on an innovative cryogenic particle detector to search for low-energy nuclear recoils induced by neutrino coherent scattering or Dark Matter interactions. The detector unit consists of an array of 60 silicon absorbers of 0.3 g each sensed by phonon-mediated, microwave-multiplexed Kinetic Inductance Detectors. The...

Neutrinos are key particles in many astrophysical sources. They influence the stellar evolution, drive the formation of heavy elements, and are also messengers of the most energetic and unexplored events in Universe, like Supernovae (SNe).

In this talk, we will show the current status of the effort to install a Skipper Charge Coupled Device (Skipper-CCD) with single-electron resolution in the Atucha 2 power reactor (in Argentina) at approximately 12 meters from the center of the core. We will revisit the main components of the system and its performance at Fermilab before commissioning. The installation is taking place in the...

I will discuss the prospects for using a nuclear-recoil TPC detector with directional sensitivity to study CEvNS at Fermilab. Even relatively small detectors would be able to make a significant detection of CEvNS on a year time scale in the NuMI beam with minimal background. A larger detector in the Near Detector Hall of the DUNE beam would be able to measure the weak mixing angle and neutron...
