Exploring coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering with NUCLEUS
Coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering (CE$\nu$NS) offers a unique way to study neutrino properties and to search for new physics beyond the Standard Model. The NUCLEUS experiment aims to measure CE$\nu$NS with reactor anti-neutrinos down to unprecedented low nuclear recoil energies. NUCLEUS will make use of CaWO$_4$ and...

The detection of Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CEʋNS) represents an experimental challenge because of its unique signature: a nuclear recoil with low energy in range of 10 to 100 eV on average.

This process, largely unexplored until today, could probe physics beyond the Standard Model such as non-standard neutrino interactions and electromagnetic form factors.

The NUCLEUS experiment aims to measure coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering of reactor anti-neutrinos using cryogenic calorimeters. Operating at an overburden of 3m.w.e., muon-induced backgrounds are expected to be dominant. For this reason, an efficient muon veto with a muon detection efficiency of more than 99% is indispensable and shall be achieved in NUCLEUS with a compact cube...

The development of low-threshold detectors for the study of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering and for the search for light dark matter necessitates methods of low-energy calibration. We suggest this can be provided by the nuclear recoils resulting from the gamma emission following thermal neutron capture [1]. In particular, several MeV-scale single-gamma transitions induce...

Several cubic silicon absorbers are carved in a 5 mm thick 3-inch diameter wafer. An array of multiplexed Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs) senses the cubes with one KID per cube. When a particle interacts in the silicon it produces phonons which are then detected by the KID. The... -

As part of the effort to observe and measure the cross-section of the CEvNS interaction, a single-phase liquid argon detector, COH-Ar-10, was deployed to the SNS in Fall 2016 by the COHERENT Collaboration. The 24kg fiducial volume target recently made the first low-N measurement of CEvNS in Spring 2020. The data used to make this measurement encompassed a year and a half of operation between...

Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) has been detected in a 24 kg single-phase liquid argon (LAr) scintillator detector. To obtain an event rate 20 times that of the 24 kg detector with a low threshold, the 750 kg LAr scintillator detector COH-Ar-750 has been designed by the COHERENT collaboration to be deployed at the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory....
