Description

Since its first observation in 2017, Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CEvNS) has proven to be an effective method for testing the Standard Model of particle physics and searching for potential indications of new physics at low energies. In recent years, substantial progress has been made, including the first detection of CEvNS from reactor antineutrinos, as well as from solar neutrinos. In this talk, I will review the major results and key insights gained from the analysis of COHERENT data, highlighting the significant advancements achieved. These results mark the beginning of a new era in CEvNS research, with an emphasis on improving precision and deepening our understanding of neutrino interactions. I will also explore the exciting prospects for future COHERENT detectors, with a particular focus on the implications of a cryogenic cesium iodide detector and tonne-scale liquid argon one, which will play a pivotal role in advancing CEvNS measurements.
