Description
Nuclear power reactors offer an intense source of antineutrinos (ν̄ e) for investigating Coherent Neutrino Nucleus Elastic Scattering (CνAel − a Standard Model process) at low energy in the complete coherency regime [1, 2]. Furthermore, they offer avenues for probing the beyond Standard Model (BSM) aspects of CνAel, including various low mass light mediators and non-standard interactions. The TEXONO experiment employs state-of-the-art point-contact high-purity Germanium detectors at O(100 eV) threshold [3] to study neutrino physics at the Kuo-Sheng nuclear power plant. In this presentation, we will give an overview of our research activities and present the latest results in probing SM and BSM physics with CνAel.
