Inorganic crystal scintillators, especially doped alkali-halide scintillators such as NaI[Tl], CsI[Tl] and CsI[Na], play an important role in neutrino experiments. The pioneering achievement of the COHERENT experiment, utilizing CsI[Na] for the initial detection of Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CEvNS), demonstrated a nuclear recoil detection threshold of approximately 8...
Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering was first experimentally established five years ago by the COHERENT experiment using neutrinos from the spallation neutron source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The first strong evidence of observation of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering with reactor antineutrinos has now been reported by the Dresden-II reactor experiment, using a...
We recently proposed the development of an innovative single-phase noble liquid time projection chamber (TPC) to detect CEνNS. Two distinct ideas are combined to maximize the potential of the technique. 1) The signal will be amplified through electroluminiscence (EL). 2) The TPC will be shaped as a conical frustum.
Single-phase EL is unaffected by charge trapping which is the major...
The COHERENT collaboration’s measurements of CEvNS utilize neutrinos produced by the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The uncertainty of the neutrino flux generated from the SNS is on the order of 10% making it one of COHERENT's most dominant systematic uncertainties across all detectors. To address this issue, a heavy water (D2O) detector has been...
Ge-mini is a germanium detector subsystem, part of the COHERENT Experiment at Oak Ridge National Lab. Using stopped-pion neutrinos from the Spallation Neutron Source, this ~16 kg array of Ge detectors searches for coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) on germanium. The low threshold and ultra-low noise nature of the germanium detectors allows for further studies in nuclear...
Coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering (CEvNS) with its large cross- section allows the study of neutrino interactions with a small target of highly sensitive cryogenic phonon detectors. The NUCLEUS experiment aims for an observation of CEvNS from reactor antineutrinos at recoil energies below 100 eV using gram-scale cryogenic detector crystals with superconductive Transition-Edge...
NaIvETe, a modular, ton-scale, NaI based neutrino detector is designed to measure the low-energy recoil signals from coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering (CEvNS) on sodium nuclei. As part of the suite of CEvNS detectors deployed by the COHERENT collaboration, NaIvETe provides the lightest target material to extend the range of measurements of the CEvNS cross section as a function of...
Using an effective field theory approach, we study coherent neutrino scattering on nuclei, in the setup pertinent to the COHERENT experiment. We include non-standard effects in both neutrino production and detection, with an arbitrary flavor structure and all leading Wilson coefficients simultaneously present. We add to previous work with the same formalism the presence of Dirac right-handed...
