Oral

Experimental efforts in CEvNS have gained significant momentum over the last few years, since the first observation of the CEvNS reaction at the SNS. Observing reactor CEvNS remains a milestone of interest with implications for basic science and nonproliferation reactor monitoring regimes. In this talk, we discuss a concept for an entirely passive, small, solid CEvNS detector that uses color...

Oral

The majority of spent nuclear fuel is kept in dry storage casks and no method to verify their contents currently exists short of opening the cask under water. Neutrino emissions from strontium-90 persist for many decades but due to the low endpoint energy these neutrinos are exceedingly difficult to detect via inverse beta decay. We present first results indicating that CEvNS detectors with a...
