    This three-lecture series will explore the construction and interpretation of confidence intervals within the context of particle physics. We will begin by defining the likelihood function and highlighting its central role in statistical inference. Through a concrete example, we will examine how the likelihood depends on the number of observed events, with special attention to the challenges...

    In this project, we will explore recent results from the CONUS+ experiment and examine how they can be used to constrain physics beyond the Standard Model. In particular, we will focus on scenarios involving non-standard neutrino interactions, neutrino magnetic moments, and light mediators. Our analysis will be guided by the framework and methodology presented in...

    In these lectures, I will discuss key milestones in neutrino physics, from the first detections to current large-scale experiments like DUNE. I will then present the main detector technologies used in neutrino research and the background challenges they face. Finally, I will review a decade of CEvNS experiments, from COHERENT to recent developments in CONUS.

    Sterile neutrinos that couple to the Standard Model via the neutrino magnetic dipole portals have been extensively studied at various experiments. In this work, we scrutinize these interactions for sterile neutrinos in the mass range of 0.1--50 MeV through the nuclear and electron recoils at various neutrino scattering experiments. For the e-flavor specific dipole portal, we demonstrate that...

    In the first part of this project nuclear form factor parametrizations will be discussed. That discussion will then be followed by the determination of neutrino fluxes from pion decay-at-rest and from nuclear reactors. The final part of the project will involve a full numerical implementation of the CEvNS cross section and the calculation of the event rate in both, fixed target and reactor facilities.

    The COHERENT experiment at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory consists of several detectors designed to measure coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering from a pion-decay-at-rest neutrino source. A significant source of uncertainty in these results is the 10% estimated uncertainty in the neutrino flux from the SNS target. To reduce this uncertainty to...

    This two-session course will provide an in-depth exploration of Skipper-CCD detector performance and the techniques used to analyze their data. We will begin by reviewing the concept of noise in CCD detectors and how the Skipper architecture enables significant improvements in readout noise. Participants will learn how to quantify this noise using real images. We will then survey the various...
