Description
The NUCLEUS experiment aims to detect and characterize coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering (CEvNS) in an ultra-low background environment using a 10 g cryogenic detector made of CaWO4 and Al2O3 crystals. The experiment will be installed between the two 4.25 GW reactor cores of the Chooz-B nuclear power plant in the French Ardennes, with commissioning scheduled for 2023 at the Technical University of Munich before moving to the Chooz reactor site in 2024. NUCLEUS will provide important insights into neutrino physics and potential new physics beyond the Standard Model.
