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 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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
