Description
Neutrino nucleus elastic scattering ($\nu$Ael) is the direct test for electroweak interaction in the Standard Model of particle physics. Several experimental programs are being actively pursued in the observation of low energy $\nu$Ael. The TEXONO research program at Kuo-Sheng neutrino laboratory (KSNL) uses state-of-art point contact Germanium detector technology with $\mathcal{O}$(100 eV) threshold to probe such low energy interactions. We will highlight the current status and results of the $\nu$Ael activities at the TEXONO experiment. The studies of analytical formulation and the constraints on coherency effects in $\nu$Ael will also be presented.
